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.
I straight don’t buy that these results accurately reflect the opinion of non boomer voters. If this is accurate then the country and the species are done for, we cannot continue on the path we’re currently on without radical change to the status quo whether thats what people want or not. This is make or break for the future and it looks like we’re all currently content to let it break even if it means the end.
Isn’t gallup one of those pollsters that still uses landline surveying? That’s got to skew the numbers.
Also people not being remotely politcally engaged doesn’t help much either.
“I vote democrat because the alternative are shitty and racist, but I am worried about this DEI, CRT, CBT, Trans stuff my weird uncle posted on Facebook”
Landline and cellphones but nobody I know, millennial or younger, answers phones anymore so your point is fair. Lol.
democrats are doing cock and ball torture?
They would have won the White House if they endorsed it more.
There are millions of Americans who really want a non-crazy conservative to vote for. There are millions of people who just want to have a non-crazy person win an election, so their idea is that the only way the opposition to crazy Republicans to be able to win over some of those people on the right is by moving closer to them. They just want to stop losing to the crazies. There are millions who are OK with gay people but hate that the government spends too much money on everything.
America is a very conservative country, and even the Democrats are basically very conservative.
Those people who complained that the Democrats would have beat Trump if they had just moved more left have no idea how much the rest of the country doesn’t feel like them.
Did you miss the bit where I said “whether thats what people want or not”? IF what you are saying is true then we’re all fucked already climate change is coming for all of us.
Did you miss the bit where you said,
And yes, we are straight fucked already.
