    Most Americans, including most [Democratic] voters, are very progressive.

    I couldn’t find anything that isn’t 7 years old to substantiate this claim, but if you can, I’ll be happy to change my mind and edit my comment. There are certainly many popular progressive policies, but I don’t think that necessarily means they are progressive in general and will vote for progressive candidates.

      Policy wise, Americans are extremely progressive.

      Which football team political party they align themselves with is something completely different.

      This was true 7 years ago, and even more so today.

          Sorry I don’t feel like spending an hour researching something I already have read about numerous times over the past few decades. It’s a general trend and it is actually increasing, although slowly.

          Feel free to look it up if you like though.

            I have, but I wasn’t able to find anything, which is why I asked. I totally understand if you don’t want to, and that’s totally fine. Maybe someone else will.
