New data sheds light on the policy preferences of nonvoting Democrats in the last election. It may disappoint some progressives.

Quote:

The CES is a high-quality survey with a sample-size large enough (60,000 respondents) to permit fine-grained comparisons between subgroups in the US adult population. With it, we’re able to get a clearer picture of who voted and how they felt about the issues.

...

while “energize the base” advocates are right that more Democrats stayed home than Republicans, they assume that these nonvoters abstained because Democrats didn’t run a sufficiently progressive campaign. To get a sense of whether Democrats who sat out the 2024 presidential election might have been moved to participate if the party had offered a more left-wing policy agenda, we can compare the policy preferences and demographics of voting and nonvoting self-identified Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents.

Contrary to what left-wing optimists had hoped, Democratic nonvoters in 2024 appear to have been less progressive than Democrats who voted. For instance, Democratic nonvoters were 14 points less likely to support banning assault rifles, 20 points less likely to support sending aid to Gaza, 17 points less likely to report believing that slavery and discrimination make it hard for Black Americans, 17 points more likely to support building a border wall with Mexico, 20 points more likely to support the expansion of fossil fuel production, and, sadly for economic populists, 16 points less likely to support corporate tax hikes (though this group still favored corporate tax hikes by a three to one margin). Overall, nonvoting Democrats were 18 points less likely to self-identify as “liberal” or “very liberal.” Here is a point for the centrists.




You don't say so, huh?



Please run AOC or Ilan Omar for President. Really, any Democrat who hasn't defected other than John Fetterman or Stephen A. Smith. (That is, assuming either of them would even want to associate themselves with the Democratic Party in 2028, which is not very likely if the way the DNC is behaving in 2025 is what we have to look forward out of them over the next 3.5 years).

You'll never win another election again.

Just like I told ya.

The American Center is on the Right.

Only in diseased and deluded Libtard hiveminds is the Center in the Libtard portion of the spectrum.
