Democrats today are more likely to say they want their party to become moderate than they were four years ago, according to a Gallup poll published Thursday. The survey, conducted in the first week of President Trump’s second term, gauged partisan preferences on the ideological direction of respondents’ respective parties. Among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents, 45 percent say they want their party to become more moderate, while 29 percent say they want the party to become more liberal, and 22 percent say they want the party to stay the same.

    I would bet it has a lot to do with everyone to the left of Attila the Hun being labelled as extremist liberals. There’s almost never any pushback that someone like Biden or Obama are actually quite tame and run of the mill liberals and even AOC wouldn’t qualify as an extremist.

    People here don’t know what extreme leftists even are. They are so fucking brainwashed that they think feeding school children is the same thing as authoritarian communism.
