Party Loyalty

220. That poll proves what I stated. The majority of Dems are Liberals. Conservo Dems dropping

Liberals increasing. And if I were part of that poll I would respond in the middle, as a Moderate Dem. So even there, you have Progressive Dems.

The largest registered voting bloc in the country is now the Independent vote.

Dems have lost millions of registered voters bringing their total % to approx. 32% down from over 40% since around 2011.

Dems can't win elections without the Independent vote, and from that huge bloc, as high as 47% in several states as recently as 2013-14.

So what has happened is the Conservo Dems, the smallest bloc of registered Dems are DRIVING Progressive Dems out of the party.

Now explain how Dems expect to win elections, they are not btw, by driving Progressives our of the party?

Of the 32% represented in that poll, many of the Progressive % are deeply upset with the party's swing to the right.

But even if every one of them were willing to hold their noses again, and fewer and fewer are doing so as the mid terms have demonstrated, that wouldn't come close to being enough to win elections.

Good job, Third Way. And even THEY are now 'concerned' with the flight of Dems to Independent status.
