35. "Non-whites" is not a liberal group, though it contains both liberals

AND some conservatives who register Democrat to protect against the Republicans. AA voters notably maximize their power by uniting -- within the Democratic Party -- and their bloc especially includes a fair number of conservatives. Black conservatives who vote strongly vote Democrat, though sometimes some may sit out votes like for our first woman president or first black woman governor of Georgia.

Btw, there is no personality type called "moderate." You're either moderate liberal or moderate conservative and either lean or strongly align left or right accordingly. So that one's suspicious; Probably people were invited to self identify and don't know any better; besides, calling yourself moderate's in style with many turned off by toxic partisanship. But they're either one or the other.

Although Sanders and other anti-Democrats insist our party has a bunch of people who are at least as conservative as liberal, some kind of hybrid Dem-Repub, that's just plain party character assassination. We're the liberal party, most members liberal, with fewer conservatives, who tend to be moderate cons overall.

Speaking of the Sanders lie, if we gathered in one place those few who are really so without political ideology and goals that they'd nod and shrug at both Trump's spite fence and wealth transfer to plutocrats and the Democrats' commitment to immigrant rights and progressive economic justice, it'd look something like Times Square does these days. And understandably, many of those odd-bits end up not bothering to vote. Probably only registered back in the pst because their girlfriend did.
