Tuesday

They prefer Democratic Party priorities. Consistently. Voters overwhelmingly support:
- Women's reproductive rights
- A progressive tax system
- Fair wages
- Affordable health care
- Affordable education
- Affordable housing
- Tariff-free trade
- Consumer protection
- Worker protection
- Guarantee of promised benefits
- Support of our allies
- Etc.
The problem is CERTAIN voters don't fully align their interests with their voting patterns. But this is good at least for the next voting cycle.
