(24,544 posts)it the DU echo chamber. But you're right and our points are similar that this place seems to cause people to feed off each other. The cluelessness gets exacerbated here because many folks with a diversity of opinion have left or don't bother trying to penetrate the bubble. Just shake our heads and move on rather than engage because we know it will go nowhere.
That's why I've been out there recently, not too active, but I did sign up. And if we do lose? At least I have a very good shot of sending my delegate to the DNC supporting Sanders.
Do your thing, josh! You have a hard road to hoe. Because even though DU is a bubble, unfortunately alot of people have escaped the DU and other bubbles and have flooded the Internet judging by the creation of the berniesoblack (and others) hash tag and the constant stream of articles condemning their behavior. You and the other clued in Sanders supporters have a tough road to hoe and unfortunately, it looks as though you'll have almost as many challenges from within as you will from without. But it sounds as though your strong support for your candidate will see you through. I wish you and he absolutely nothing but the best.
