I would like to see the age breakdown of those who were polled. My guess would be predominantly boomer era although there keeps being statistics that weirdly keep throwing my Gen X crew under the bus.

Probably because that’s the exact narrative Dems promoted ever since losing to Reagan, which just happened to reinforce the Republican narrative of extreme lefty communists taking over. They’ve been trying this losing strategy and fighting against their own voters for decades.

Kamala Harris predicated her entire campaign on chasing "moderate" votes, even at the expense of alienating progressives. The results are in: she lost every single swing state as well as the popular vote. Democrats are doomed if they keep going in this direction.

This shows that MAGA propaganda has successfully brainwashd Democrats.

These blanket labels don’t have a lot of meaning. When Dem leaders say they need to be more “moderate” they seem to mean on human rights issues, while they simultaneously push economic policies that would be right-wing in almost any other country.

These words have no neaning b/c liberal has just cone to mean culture war shit. Ask about min wage, taxing the rich, etc. w/o the lib label and the answer is quite different.

Most Americans are idiots. I think this country should be physically divided between idiots and smart people. It's becoming impossible to share it with idiots. Let the idiots worship their god, their cult leaders, and their stone age beliefs. We've had it with them.
