(145,126 posts)Did you read this article? If so, why are you making very deceptive and misleading statements about this article or poll. If you pulled this in a legal brief you would be sanctioned for attempting to mislead the court
Here is the link to the article that you are misquoting https://www.forbes.com/sites/dougschoen/2020/11/17/new-post-election-poll-reveals-how-democrats-leftward-movement-cost-the-party-in-the-2020-election/?sh=403ab6b4675f This article does not support your claims and i fact makes clear that it was the squad and progressives who are the cause of problem. Voters were upset due to the "partys associations with far-left attitudes and movementsin particular, the movement to defund the police."
The actual quote that you took out of context is the following:
By a 12-point margin, 35% to 23%, respondents said that the movements across the country to defund the police made them less likely to vote for Democrats. Likewise, by a 12-point margin, 32% to 20%, respondents also said that these movements made them more likely to vote for Republicans.
Again, you misquoted the article that I posted.
