The commenter above imo didn’t mean to talk about self-id when they said or implied something like “most (dem) voters are progressive.” They imo meant progressive policies are broadly popular.
Well then if they meant something different than what they said, they should have said something different in the first place. A majority of Democrats are moderates, full stop. The popularity of progressive policies is irrelevant.
Well would you look at that. It’s not self identification:
Pew Research Center’s new political typology provides a road map to today’s fractured political landscape. It segments the public into nine distinct groups, based on an analysis of their attitudes and values.
It’s identity based on attitudes and values.
I repeat, the popularity of progressive policies has nothing to do with this conversation. Move along.
Fifty-two percent of Democratic voters are moderates. Only 12% are progressive. You don’t help your argument by making statistics up out of thin air.
You don’t have to self-id as a progressive to support progressive policies.
That has nothing to do with my comment or the comment I responded to.

You had me up to this sentence:
The popularity of progressive policies is the only relevant concern. It’s self-id that is irrelevant.

It’s the same thing.
In my own mind I am a center of the road moderate too.
Ask me the right questions and my answers will sound decidedly moderate.
The current late stage capitalist government is the extremist that must be stopped.
Get lost.
Lol, nope
Wrong. Next.
No chance.
