Reply #10: People not that interested compared to DU [View All]

Most Dems don't pay attention to the DLC and DNC and don't even know the difference. They may not have a computer or subscribe to a daily paper. They may watch only the evening news, not having cable news channels. Maybe they don't understand that their primary is illegal.

All many of them know is that they are democrats and it's their duty to vote. When they get to the ballot box, the name they know best is Clinton. So they vote.

I bet only 20% of the 55% knew what was going on. My husband sure didn't. Today he asked me why Obama's name wasn't on the ballot. I don't know whether he would have voted for him or not, just making the point that most folks don't pay attention. Most don't care about or even want to know about politics.

He voted "uncommitted" not because of Conyers, whom he knows nothing about, he just doesn't care for Clinton (while I voted Kucinich).
