The perfect dem candidate is 
Okay, so being a union member is good(+1), but organizing union strikes is bad(-2)!? So what are unions supposed to do then? Just keeping up appearances of opposition to pacify dissent while actually maintaining the status quo?
Democrat candidate
Ohhhh, that makes sense then, carry on I guess.
served in thie Biden administration (-6)
They hate being reminded that none of this shit works
Evidently, among Democrats, the only thing that scores worse than "advocating for Palestine" is "advocating for Israel"
I guess the takeaway is "we don't want to hear about sad things for which our government is directly culpable"?
"breaking up monopolies" still polls negative when you exclude the chuds? We're gonna have Disney and Google opening company towns and offering script before we have even a lukewarm Teddy Roosevelt type on the ballot, aren't we.

Oh, so the other sheet is for overall voters. I guess then republicans hate lgbtq people way more than socialists? Hence why lgbtq advocates score a lot lower than socialists on the main election.
But it's absolutely crazy to me that even amongst Democrats lgbtq advocates score negative, even 1 point lower than socialists!
The fact that socialism more popular than lgbtq rights is ... an interesting result.
It might be an example of a Keynesian beauty contest in that the typical democratic voter saw all the chatter around Trump's anti-LGBTQ ads in the general and are assuming that candidates that go too hard toward inclusion stand less of a chance with the mythical moderates.
Or they might just not care.
IMO the takeaway isn't that socialism is more popular than lgbtq rights, the takeaway is that more people are polarized against lgbtq rights than socialism.
is that maybe showing more of a split in the party? there are other polls that have shown Democrats are way more favorable towards Palestinian people(not so much the Palestinian or Isntreal governments though) link
I'm also slightly skeptical of this data. It's kinda hilarious the more i look. Forgive student loans? Democrats disapprove. Secure the border? Also disapprove. Giving me whiplash. Protecting abortion rights is 0 for democrats? Maybe i just dont understand how this survey works.
I've read a couple blurbs about conjoint analysis and I am not yet totally clear on how it works, but the general idea is to provide different products (or in this case candidates) and ask respondents to rank them. So one might have compared a veteran former Obama staffer who wants to get rid of the tariffs vs a farmer that created private sector jobs who wants to make food more affordable (etc), and the scores come out of a bunch of rankings.
I speculated up thread that the poll respondents might be ranking the candidates more on what they believe the general public wants or who will most likely win an election regardless of personal preferences (which feels like a hazard in accurate interpretation and it depends on the exact question wording), or they might've just had a sample that skewed older (as Chana observed).
You can make a poll say anything based on who you decide to sample. I suspect they polled a lot of old people.
I'm talking over here!
The democrats are the most committed people in history in their quest to learn every wrong lesson and produce every worst take. It's truly remarkable the talent, skill, dedication and drive the democrats pour into that purpose, and the tremendous level of their success in doing so. Never in history has a group of people been so wrong
Making child care more affordable... Who has a negative opinion of this? How?
Private equity firms that own lots of childcare facilities
fighter against the republican party: -5
What is this even based on? There is no fucking way that fighting against republicans and advocating for lgbtq rights would be seen as worse by Democrat voters than being a socialist.
I refuse to believe that a party of liberals would rather tolerate a socialist over someone who is pro-lgbtq.
They probably think they're socialists 
Also as the saying goes everyone is 12, and when they were twelve-years-old they were using homophobia as every-day insults and degrade their political opposition with homophobic insults.

There's a moratorium on needing to say main, so we should all return to the old days where everyone posted everything on main.

Also turn this into a table you can roll d6s on and you have a nice character background chart.
