36. I think people misunderstood what I was saying
I was saying that compared to the overall population, the Democratic Underground population would be skewed towards younger people. Hence an online poll would be skewed towards Obama (since the young people skew towards Obama). I wasn't saying older people don't vote for Obama or that they aren't on this website (which I was why I said "no offense"), I was merely making a statistical statement about what polls here would look like compared to the overall population. I was just saying there would be relatively fewer older people proportionately compared to the general population.

That said, I've been informed that this site isn't actually skewed towards younger folk, but instead towards people that are not quite as young.
