Makes it pretty clear how badly the democrats have alienated the people with constant misstep after misstep. If only there were a left party for many of those independents to call home, rather than a right party and a further right, authoritarian party.
Democrats: Man, that's a whole lot of words my corporate donors aren't paying me to read. Guess I better move more right to capture those moderate Republicans.
That green line is labeled “independent,” but I can tell you for a fact there’s no 45% of Americans voting independent. I’m guessing a more accurate label for that line would be “doesn’t vote.”
More accurate would be "I think independent makes me sound smarter, but I'm part of a tribe"
Regardless, 1/3 will still vote hard right, 1/3 hard left, and the middle will stay home.
Ahh yes. The hardleft of corporate democrats.
Much better than the hard right.
It is indeed, but I think the point is that the right has been able to move the window so far to the right because there is no functioning left.
The left can't afford to alienate the center because they can't count on the votes of the left.
Ok then hard right and the other 2/3 just complain and never agree what’s left enough so nothing happens but tears and losing.
And yet not good enough to win elections.
The right love their stupid Americans!
