I often think they are just troll farm people shilling to try to get Trump in power because I can’t see how any American can see the discourse in this country and think leftists are the majority. I think lots of people find many individual left wing policies popular, but will those people identify and vote for true leftist candidates? Bernie was the farthest left candidate I’ve seen in my 40+ years and we couldn’t even get him to win a primary (I know the establishment pushed against him, but had he had a vast majority of votes and not slim margins of victory, they couldn’t have pulled that off). If they are real people, I can’t tell if these commenters live on campuses where it’s that heavily leftist or what America they seem to be living in.
