Reply #3: I don't know about "we" or about DU in general....

[vi5]

But I'd say there are a good chunk on this board and on the left who refuse to ever concede that the opinions we hold or what we think is impressive fail to resonate with the bulk of people in the country. Or at least we refuse to admit that something someone from "our side" says or does may not be totally groovy.

I think it's just a basic sense of empathy and perspective. I'd say a good 50% of the opinions I hold, I have no delusions about how the rest of the country feels on those issues and I know they don't agree with me. And I'm fine with that. I don't demand 100% compliance to my opinions.

And this I think is one of those instances. I liked what Gore said, even though I'm not a huge fan of the man in general.
