You're a regular poster around here.

Your agenda has clearly been to get people to think that liberal policies do not have a chance to be implemented, and that we are not a liberal nation. Your ideas put forth work DIRECTLY against mine in trying to build a more liberal nation. You must first believe something is possible before that something has even a chance of becoming a reality. Psychological theory knows this, and the elite use this knowledge to work AGAINST left wing groups, their ideas, and liberal influence around the world in various ways. Putting just this such doubt into the minds of left wing groups and individuals is a massive goal of the elite. It can potentially significantly reduce the chances of liberals from gaining ground in this country.

My post simply stated that support for liberal positions is much greater than the misleading 21% you like to throw out. There is nothing controversial here. It's a fact, and it has been widely shown to be a fact on a number of issues over the years. Polling on issues that I KNOW you've seen. Since the SUPPORT is there for many great liberal positions, certainly they could be implemented and eventually receive wide support. When someone throws out statistics that claim only 21% of Americans identify as liberal, I strongly feel they are working AGAINST the implementation of liberal and progressive policy.
