    Wow, what a surprise, someone who believes that two party politics is representative of the left/right of politics is wrong about things.

      You don’t appear to have read the second source, which contains almost identical numbers for Left/Center/Right labels. That shows that (a) both of my sources are relevant because (b) in the U.S. party politics does track left/right politics.

      In addition, you have still failed to provide any evidence for your claims.

        Wow, you had two links that you made look like a single link then acted like it was my fault for not realizing it? Okay lmfao, very obvious good faith discussion right here, it’s definitely not worth my time trying to convince you by finding sources that clearly show that Americans overwhelmingly support socialist policies but do not identify with socialist or leftist labels because of a lack of political education.

        You can believe whatever you want. Infosec.pub always has bad takes. I’m like 99% sure at this point that it runs out of Eglin.

          Americans overwhelmingly […] do not identify with socialist or leftist labels

          So, you agree that what I claimed “Right + Center > 50%” is correct.

          Thank you.

              I follow the evidence where it leads. These days, that’s often to a dying world, and it is sad.

                You follow the skewed evidence that the mainstream liberal media feed you to keep you in line with the narratives that keep the powerful in power.

                  I follow whatever evidence I can find or am presented with. But, yes, there is a bias toward the evidence you describe – there’s power invested in getting me that evidence.

                  That said, I don’t actually watch that much TV and I’m not on the “normal” social media. I get a lot of my news here (and the wider Fediverse – big fan of 404Media and ProPublica) plus “Some More News” and “Have I Got News For You (US)” and “Last Week Tonight” YT channels. Still, I’m sure my media diet could use more attention – I know my food diet could! (For reference I’m 265 lbs. on a 5’8" frame.)
