    But more likely to vote for progressive economic policies? I don’t think so.

    So, that’s your opinion…

    https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2024/02/29/americans-top-policy-priority-for-2024-strengthening-the-economy/

    That says 5 out of the top 6 policy positions are progressive economic policy…

    All over 60% support.

    So like, you’re entitled to your opinion, but statistical analysis is still a science and I’m going with science this time.

      What people care about is not always what they vote for, and what people say they care about is another thing entirely.

      I’ll leave you with this: I want to be proved wrong and champagne is on me if I am. I just don’t believe in Americans enough to believe that we as a whole are going to effect real change.

      I’m going to stop trying, though.

        We don’t know because the DNC won’t stay out of primaries or let a progressive into the general.

        Stop acting like why trump won is a mystery, we can’t afford to miss the obvious solution
