          I mean, okay, fair enough. I hadn’t read this.

          The share of Democrats who want their party to take a more moderate approach has risen significantly—11 percentage points

          I have heard some people stupidly say that democrats “have gone too far left” which I don’t really agree with, but I also recognize there are uninformed and stupid people out there who do indeed feel that way. It largely is surrounding trans issues. Some people are still struggling with that one because they don’t know a trans person. Just like when people didn’t know any openly gay people, they didn’t really get it. I think/hope that will change slowly over time, but for now there will be some dipshits still mad that “democrats are radical now!”

              It is fucking idiotic as fuck to see these results and think to yourself that this fuck winning means America is left leaning. LMAO I can’t even process how a real human could actually believe that.

                  there are many more dumb people that vote on things like name recognition and likeability which kamala lacked substantially.

                  Agreed. Are these the avowed leftists of whom you speak?

              We already know that a record number of young men went for trump and I don’t care what anyone says if you didn’t vote you’re functionally a Republican voter. You can say what you want but actions are what count.

                  The only thing we actually seem to disagree on here is that America is leftist. Which your previous (true) comment undermines. There are lots of morons who vote. It is worthless labelling them as they can bounce back and forth mostly basing their votes in emotions and perceived self interest.

                  At most in America we probably have about 65% of votes for Democrats. But given the fact that Trump didn’t lose in a landslide after his first term, against literally fucking anyone, tells me America is truly not even close to a leftist majority. Which I always wanted to believe, but I was shown to be very wrong.
