"Six percent of adults in this country identify as ‘progressive.' Only 11 or 12% of Democrats identify as progressive. So let’s just meet in the middle and say something like 7 or 8% of the country agrees with the progressive left," he said. "This ain’t a g---amn debate anymore. Someone like Manchin is closer to the mainstream than a lot of these people think, and pretending like he isn’t won’t help the cause." - James Carville

I remember when Kobe cited a Data For Progress poll on something to prove it was popular. Good times.

Where have the adults been the last 2 years?

I'm sorry (not really) but fuck Carville. He could have just as easily have said this in March 2020 when the loonies appeared.

Just a different flavor of the left's shills. Must be back on the payroll now to put a pretty bow on a pile of shit.

Nobody ever believed anyone who said progressive causes are what the majority of Americans want. Hardcore progressives are 10% or less of the country, as Democratic Strategist Carville correctly points out. They are just loud and have the full weight of the MSM/Twitter megaphone behind them. American doesn't want this trash. They want practical middle of the road solutions to problems. Not green gaia war on energy free college for all garbage.

I don't like Carville either but he is correct. The Progressives war on Manchin, as if he is the one out of touch with America, is laughable.

Remember when the progressives tried to change the definition of infrastructure for like 2 weeks and abandoned that messaging pretty quickly.

I don't find anything progressive about Progressives. They're all ass backwards in their thinking.

Getting trains run on you while chest feeding is very progressive.

Would America's strange obsession with masking children be different if there were less progressives?

The problem is that most of the rest of the dem sheep are totally cowed by the progressive left. You have the far left BBB bill and 48 dem Senators, almost all the House dems and the dementia patient enthusiastically support it. Then toss in the entire MSM, TV radio and print. If you vote for a progressive agenda and then claim you are a moderate your are delusional. Leftards lie and love to be lied to.

So we only need to rid the nation of 6%? Easy peasy.

But a huge number voted for anything/anyone but Trump. Which just goes to show a huge number of Americans have no attention span and are emotional. That said, a lot of Trump voters were also voting on emotion.

In a blind survey we’re Trumps polices are laid next to Biden’s, without stating who was who’s, my guess is Trumps would win by a large margin.

If you don’t support it your a racist. And if you don’t support voting rights your the same as a plantation owner. Who isn’t for voting rights? Cast your vote against it so we know who thinks certain people shouldn’t be able to vote.
