These people are removed from any sense of reality.
They live in what is essentially a fantasy world created to conform to their own twisted vision of what a proper society should look like. So, it's not surprising in the least that their self-deluded concept of how well they will do in any given election doesn't necessarily dovetail with the aspirations and dreams of real, flesh-and-blood voters.
Remember, these are the same value depleted idiots who believed that once their Soviet-funded war of attrition in Central America had subsided and Cold War era tensions were reduced, the puppet representatives of the USSR would be ushered into power during a wave of democratic elections in the region.
Fat chance of that happening!
These imbeciles have no firm grasp of what motivates anyone who falls outside of their own narrow, ahistoric, maladapted subset of "Dawn of the Dead" type neo-Marxist zombies.
It's just that simple.
Priceless! Really funny thanks.
