Aren't the polls that show the American people are predominately liberal, conducted, making certain not to use terms like liberal & conservative? Once you throw in descriptives like liberal & progressive, support goes down. ???
The repubs did a great job of demonizing the word liberal & the dems stood silently by, deserting the word, & soon after, the policies. I think there was a combination of fear of being shamed by the repubs, with the help of the bought out media, & the lure of big money. The party has betrayed us. We have a few good liberals, but their voice is not strong enough to be heard over whoever the media wants to give voice to.
Me & a lot of other people are with Curmudgeoness on this - we are feeling beat down.
