Our expectations are really low

17. No. There is NO significant "third way" faction! Kaput!

Period.

Closed for lack of viewers.

For those who want to understand what's with this "third way" term you'll see on none of the graphs above: There is a relatively small population of people on the far left who want to see themselves as not only "the true left" but as the only ones standing up for the common man. But they don't want to see themselves as a fringe element but as big and powerful, a righteous majority force that will sweep the nation into agreement with them and off to a glorious, enlightened future.

To this end, they insist everyone who doesn't agree with them is actually a closet conservative, a sell-out to "corporatism" and, evil of evils now, capitalism. I.e., a "third wayer," the slur they use that term as.

That would actually include almost half of America's voting age population, virtually the entire Democratic Party and the entire liberal population, but cognitive dissonance is not a problem. The majority isn't materializing, but they believe.

They refuse to admit that there is actually a whole, bigger liberal movement occurring, where there is supposed to be nothing... They are the only righteous, uncorrupted ones with the only answer and the only candidate who can save America. (From the rest of us.)

For understanding the rest of the left, and those on the right because they also have the vote, maybe start by reexamining the graphs? Please note where the candidates lie ideologically.
