Why is Harris even mentioned? She should disappear like Hillary.
Nobody wants this person to run again.
Harris polls in 1st place
Lemmy Leftists: "no one wants Harris!"
Y'all are in a bubble.
Harvard poll: 72% of Dem voters prefer more left-leaning candidates like Sanders and AOC over moderates like Harris.
Lemmy Leftists: Yes.
Cryophilia: Y'all are in a bubble.
Unfortunately that poll had some very loaded wording in it that doesn't necessarily lead to the conclusion it's trying to present
From page 20:
72% of Democratic voters answered "yes".
Go ahead and point out this alleged "loaded wording".
You don't see it?
You're assuming that because they want more candidates to obstruct the current administration, that they would also prefer those candidates and throw actual policies in every other situation.
Because they mixed progressive and opposing the admin together in one question, you can't tell which part is really what they're agreeing with.
Using this specific question to claim they want more progressive candidates is futile. This is basic polling literacy stuff...
The problem is that you think people are too stupid to understand the question, and only you are smart enough to figure it out.
It's a basic question asking if people prefer Dems like AOC and Sanders, who have a more aggressive stance against Trump, over moderate Dems who will compromise with Trump. It's very straightforward.
Nowhere did I imply I was the only one who could understand it. What i did say was that the was this was worded could not be taken to mean the same as the stripped down version you presented.
Half of Americans read at or below a 6th grade level. This is NOT a straightforward question in the way you're claiming. In case you haven't been paying attention, this country is full of absolute morons who continue to vote against their own interests because of some memes on the Internet...
