    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:

      Do you support more Democrats like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who are calling on Democrats to adopt a more aggressive stance towards Trump and his administration and “fight harder”, or moderate Democrats who are willing to compromise on Trump issues important to their base?

      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.
