More Democrats want a more moderate party, poll says.
Data from a new Gallup survey suggests that close to half of Democrats want their party to move more toward the middle, while more than 40% of Republicans are happy with their party.
How was Kamala Harris not the perfect candidate then? Why did so many Democrats stay home, when Harris was supported by Darth Cheney's daughter? It doesn't get more drawn to the "middle" than that. No one I have talked to said they wish Democrats were more conservative, anecdotal at best, but seems pretty suspicious to me.
This sounds like "of active voters" which are more right leaning than the average citizen.
Maybe if they appease right-wing extremists even harder, they'll finally find some middle ground. Oops, the middle moved. Oh well, just reach across the aisle and--huh. It moved again.
You think the Cheney's are/were popular within the Republican rank and file? She lost her primary for Wyoming's house seat in 22. She didn't make it to the general. She only won her primary with a majority twice in 18 and 20. The only Republicans she would have brought to the table were the Never Trumpers, who were already never voting for trump.
Who is popular with the republican rank and file? A significant number of his own cabinet members from the first term said he shouldn't Return.
You're moving the goal posts for this article as well. Who could Harris have cozied up to that was close to center? Who in the republican party can even be considered the moderate centrists? I imagine the reason Cheney lost her seat has much more to do with faux news dragging her through the mud because she had the audacity to investigate the obvious insurrection that happened and go against an orange turd than her not being "conservative" or popular enough to win.
Then there is no hope for the United States. If 40% still need the Dems to move further right, then the majority really does just want Fascism vs Fascism Light on the ticket.
It's a two-party system. If they move toward the middle, the whole thing shifts right. It's very precisely adapted to mitigate any kind of meaningful, moderate, centrist position. If, instead, we're talking about comparing the US system to that of other countries, the idea that the Democrats are leftists is hilariously misinformed.
This makes me feel worse than anything trump has done. We're so fucked.
