So, is DU a "white male bubble"?


The DU polls showed that something around 85% of DUers support Sanders over Clinton (one poll showed something like 90%). Clinton supporters suggest that the appeal of Sanders is strongest amongst young white college educated males, but not strong amongst minorities and women.

If this is true (which I am not convinced that it is), it begs the question: Are DUers mostly young white males? I would not have thought so. Are the people on DU which are members of an ethnic minority outliers? Is the politics of DU at all representative of the politics of the population in general?

In one way or another we would have to be looking at a biased sample here. What gives


To answer your question to the bold part is NO. DU is full of aging hippies from the 60's who want free shit.

Bernie is getting support from young white women, too. The only ones supporting Hillary are the "bitter clingers'.

I won't expand on democrat male white bubbles because it involves the feltching of democrat partners when it comes to things best kept in the dark.

Liberals disgust me. (Now I don't have to remember to put it on each post).

Because only the left goes searching for that which is not there in a desperate attempt to be offended about something.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Many people do not see evil until the gas is flowing into the chamber. That is why they get on the trains in the first place.

Yes, but most institutions refer to it as genpop.

When a discussion site - in this case DU - caters to and nurtures the victimology of PC minority groups*, it attracts members of those groups who most define themselves by their victimhood, and are acutely sensitive to victimizing acts, however minute. Just as nurturing hatred toward those with whom they disagree inevitably would turn inward, as it has with CHILL vs. Bern, it was inevitable that members of PC minority groups' victim hypersensitivities would be turned inward, resulting in wranglings and recriminations, and those PC minority victims leaving in search of a safer safe place. Consequently, DU is largely a Bizarro-World of lots of white people who are down with blacks' victimology, but few actual blacks.

* PC minority groups, e.g.: blacks and Hispanics are PC but East & Southeast Asians, Indians, and Jews are not; Muslims are PC, but religious Jews are not; atheists are PC, but Evangelical or Catholic Christians are not.
