DU isn't the real world

[Kaleva]

Not even close. When I read comments that President Obama is "a fucking coward" or has "rolled over for his corporate masters", I try and remind myself that overall, Democratic approval of the President is very high and that only a very small, but vocal, minority of Dems have an unfavorable opinion of him. His base, the rank and file Democrats, is solid.

DU is valuable in regards to keeping up with current events and the occasional insightful commentary on them. I also enjoy the Lounge for the comic interactions that take place there.
