"Number Of Liberal Americans Growing, Number Of Conservatives Dropping, Says Gallup"

[Dragonfli]

26. I couldn't agree more, the third way deceptively uses "self Identification polls"

To claim that "moderates", what they then claim falsely are financially conservative centrists, are the largest voting constituency for Democrats to go after. They completely ignore issue polls that clearly show their Heritage Foundation based "centrists" policy recommendations are extremely unpopular. The issue polls show a public to the left of both parties. They lie with ease and pretty graphs and are a propaganda arm of the rich that has given us a right wing party and a fascist party with little to vote for that would reflect our collective wishes. We are stuck in a binary system with two right wing parties and nothing resembling even a center left party let alone any truly leftist parties promoting policies for the working class.

The worst thing that happened politically in this country was the vilification of American Communists while at the same time encouraging the fascist element to burrow into the mainstream. Of course we skewed so far right after that. FDR could not have passed center left solutions that stopped the bleeding without the influence of the left to ofset the right.
