This week alone, almost two thirds of Floridians voted to increase the minimum wage while at the same time a slim majority of them voted for Trump. If you cut through all the partisan bullshit, all the many layers of discourse, propaganda and ideology, Americans as a whole are fairly progressive when it comes to policy.


I think it's mostly tribal now between GOP and DEMs. Its not about the issues or politics so much (except maybe gun rights etc.) but more about tribal allegiance. Which also explains why Trump got so many votes.

So arguably if DNC and DSA people are replaced by fresh faces (such as, ahem, Yang), and support "socialist" policies, landslide?

Here you can see the NSG poster in their natural habitat. When waiting for slow news to come in they will create their own governments using only the tools natured provided. If we watch long enough we may even see the beginnings of political infighting in this new government.

Yang resonated very well with various segments of Trump voterbase up and including even the alt-right.
