The US is a Center LEFT country! Broad Support for Progressive Proposals among 2016 Voters!
Remember how often we are told 'we can't do that, or we can't do this, because this is a Center Right Country?

Despite polls consistently showing that Progressive Policies have support from across the Political Spectrum.

The results of this latest 'Big Ideas' poll confirms that we are a Center Left, actually on some policies, VERY Left, country:

National poll of 1,500 likely 2016 voters conducted by GBA Strategies on behalf of the Progressive Change Institute. More details on the poll can be found on the last page, including poll dates, sample sizes, and margin of error.


Likely 2016 voters (Republicans, Independents, Democrats) were asked to say if they support or oppose the below proposals.

You need to click the link to see the charts which are eye-opening as far as the REALITY of what voters want, and the decades long LIE we are told regarding where the Country stands on Progressive policies.

I can't copy the charts. But, eg, let's see where the Voters stand on Social Security eg.

These are the questions that were asked of the voters.

We are told Republicans hate SS. So we have to 'compromise' on SS!!!!

Really?



EXPAND SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS (MESSAGE A)

Increase Social Security benefits, so that a
worker at age seventy-five receives
four-hundred-and-fifty-two dollars more
in benefits per year and at age eighty-five
receives eight-hundred-and-seven dollars
more per year.

Overall support for this proposal? 70%!!

Broken down into party support:

Dems: 83% FOR
Repubs: 62% FOR
Indeps: 63% FOR ...

blah blah blah

31. Why doesn't this post have 200 recs?

Most important post this month.

Maybe because a few actually checked the methodology of of the poll sponsored by the "Progressive Change Institute."

1. Ask the people of Venezuela how communism/socialism/fascism is working out for them.
2. Every poll shows that the USA is conservative in its views. Actual leftist are 20%+/-.
3. Now ask those people if they would like to chip in $800/year to get those results.

Venezuela now has empty grocery shelves, thanks to Sabrina's beloved socialism.  People can't eat, you dumb bitch.  This was featured on twitchy the other day, when some vacuous asshole asked "Venezuela should be a rich country!  What happened?  The government ruined the economy!"
How about that socialism?

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

10. If it is so CENTER-LEFT why do rightwing lunatics keep getting elected?

Minus the "lunatics" label-epithet this resident of the DU corner of Hobbiton points out the gaping hole in the OP's "reasoning". And Hissyspit's talking-points-grade response is silly.

Many/most states' Congressional districts were mapped out by D-dominated legislatures (including populous states like CA, NY, and IL), so if gerrymandering is relevant, it resulted in more Ds in district-based offices than would randomly drawn districts. Gerrymandering is irrelevant where statewide offices are concerned - Governors, State AGs, US Senators, US President & VP.

"Voter suppression" is similarly ridiculous, because such a conspiracy would have to be of massive magnitude. Additionally, keeping an effort such magnitude secret would be impossible. Too many people for every one of them to keep silent; too easily infiltrated; a MSM that would LOVE to expose such an effort.
