If you look at the public opinion graphs
There is a very clear trend against so called liberal positions
Really?
Ardy has carried the 'agree with everybody' meme a bit too far
I do not agree with everyone
I think global warming is happening and is caused by humans
I think that we need strong regulation to protect against environmental degradation
I think that we need to help the poor
I would support As national Heath service
I support progressive taxation and think the rich evade taxes
I am for much stronger national gun control
I want a strict line between religion and government
I do not think money is free speech or that corporations are people
I believe in Keynesian economics
I think it is quite unfortunate that right wing propagandists have been so effective in shifting the balance of public opinion
Otoh I think that democrats have to recognize this has happened in order to compete in elections. And I look for what conservatives think that can be valid criticisms. Which is hard to do given the colossal stupidity expressed by the most vocal conservative voices.
