I'm done, no longer can I support a candidate that fails to win over a majority of Daily Kos readers. I don't know how I'll survive in the political wilderness.

Every time I see a thread about Hillary in the news on FB, the comments are wildly pro-Hillary.

People on Kos, here and elsewhere are going to be shocked at the sheer level of enthusiasm people have for her if they think she's not popular. It's like opposite-world.

I am going to sort of like it around here then if I don't get banned for telling the truth and being warned about posting non copy written material.

tend to be disgruntled and despise the status quo. Which explains the attitudes towards Hillary and Obama right here at DU.

Since the majority of 'activists' despise Hillary and Obama, what does that make our little minority here?

Are we the disgruntled opposing the status quo?

I hardly hear people anywhere talking about the Donald. But Ron Paul on the other hand...almost anywhere I go online related to politics, there are still people who act like he's God's gift to politics and is "our only hope". I think gauging online sentiment in general would show the less-moderate politicians like him as popular, plus 3rd party supporters are very vocal on places like Facebook despite their numbers in RL.
