    You had me up to this sentence:

    The popularity of progressive policies is irrelevant.

    The popularity of progressive policies is the only relevant concern. It’s self-id that is irrelevant.

      Well would you look at that. It’s not self identification:

      Pew Research Center’s new political typology provides a road map to today’s fractured political landscape. It segments the public into nine distinct groups, based on an analysis of their attitudes and values.

      It’s identity based on attitudes and values.

      I repeat, the popularity of progressive policies has nothing to do with this conversation. Move along.

        It’s the same thing.

        In my own mind I am a center of the road moderate too.

        Ask me the right questions and my answers will sound decidedly moderate.

        The current late stage capitalist government is the extremist that must be stopped.

        Get lost.
