Hey, democratic party, you see that? Maybe actually standing for left stuff instead of continuously going more right to appease people who would never vote for you anyway actually works?
Not to say you're wrong, but do not trust these numbers at all. This is just Fox News scaremongering their base to believe the "socialist threat" is imminent and motivate more of them to hit the polls to vote R.
They're in it to please their sponsors, not the electorate. Most corporate Democrats are perfectly happy to let the far right take over.
I'd say this is more the crowd who votes for change, like the ones who voted Trump and AOC on the same ballot. Still stands to show Dems need to move left if they want any chance.
They're going to ignore it and move to the right.
But they don't want leftist policy, they want to make money and the right gives them that.
