A Dose of Moderation Would Help Democrats
As frustrated as many Americans have become, most still don’t see themselves as radicals. About 35 percent call themselves moderate, compared with only 26 percent who say liberal, according to Gallup. Another 35 percent say conservative. Even among Democrats, only about half use the liberal label, with other half choosing moderate or conservative….
They can appeal to moderate voters without betraying progressive values.
A number of Democratic presidential candidates are pushing for increasingly progressive ideas, like a Green New Deal.
Are there risks in this move to the left?
