From Pew Research Center's Beyond Red vs. Blue: The Political Typology
won't someone think about the poor, poor stressed sideliners? :cri: whole article is the consent manufacturing machine at its finest
I did my own research and I found the actual groupings are: South Park Bipartisans, Post-Neo-Thatcherites, (The) Red Menace, Billary Serfs, Red Menace 2, the anti-circumcision pro-Israel left, Guys who just always agree with you, and politicized meateaters
Unironically more accurate categories then whatever Pew's going on about
what a wildly jingoistic society
like a proper answer is 'some countries do things better and some do things worse in different regards' but everything just went 'no we awesome lmao everyone else is clearly worse'
One of the more significant mistakes in the analysis of the Article is framing the "outsider left" (which includes anti-electoral leftists like most of us) as a hair away from voting for Republicans instead of voting along progressive lines if at all...
The position makes no sense to them...
Shit that's where I should have put it to begin with :ohnoes: Crosspost time
Worse because it engages in fishhook theory. Greens, anarchists, and communists don't belong in the middle of that bar graph.
Very funny how there are far more Democrats who lean right than Republicans who lean even a marginal amount to the "left". Compromise!
