Democrats today are more likely to say they want their party to become moderate than they were four years ago, according to a Gallup poll published Thursday. The survey, conducted in the first week of President Trump’s second term, gauged partisan preferences on the ideological direction of respondents’ respective parties. Among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents, 45 percent say they want their party to become more moderate, while 29 percent say they want the party to become more liberal, and 22 percent say they want the party to stay the same.
Disagree completely. Ask people their thoughts on specific issues and they almost always skew left even if they vote right. They’re just completely overwhelmed with biased news.
Most people have political opinions the way liquids have form.
And the container is their emotional responses, which are overwhelmingly weighted towards valuing traditional conservative arguments.
This is why when push comes to shove, even in fucking liberal states, left ballot initiatives regularly fail.
The idea of a secretly left-population is not borne out by any of the facts.
