The Data shows: RUNNING ON PROGRESSIVE POLICIES ACTUALLY WORKS

[rapbeats]

Polling Shows Running on Progressive Policies Would Work in Swing Districts

IT’S BECOME A cliché that each faction within each party believes that victory would be assured if only the party would follow their preferred policy approach. Democrats in the Congressional Progressive Caucus, which has been becoming increasingly involved in primaries across the country in a way it hasn’t before, now has polling to back up its claim.

The data, crunched by Democratic pollster Celinda Lake, comes from a survey of 600 likely 2018 voters over the phone in 30 targeted swing districts, and an additional oversample of 300 Democratic-leaning surge voters. (Those are people who don’t have a history of voting and are less certain to vote in 2018.)

Swing districts often have a roughly equal balance of Democrats and Republicans, leading political strategists to advise moderation as the path to victory. But, Lake’s poll found, that’s not what voters in those districts actually want.

Almost three-quarters of the voters surveyed, for instance, supported “Medicare for All.” Policies dealing with cheaper prescription drugs, infrastructure, protecting Social Security and Medicare, and cracking down on Wall Street, are exceedingly popular with swing and surge voters alike, the survey found.

Lake’s memo claims, “These policies not only motivate the progressive base, but make voters more likely to support Democrats. A majority of voters (52 percent) said they would be more likely to vote for a candidate talking about the progressive policies we mentioned, while only 26 percent would be less likely.”

Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., said on Tuesday that that the poll shows Democrats “can have that blue tsunami,” not just a blue wave, if they lean into progressive policies and messaging. The results show enthusiastic support for progressive policies in 30 swing districts, mostly held by Republican incumbents. “Our polling shows running as a bold progressive is a political winner,” Jayapal, vice chair of CPC, said on a press call.

Progressive legislative priorities ranked high across districts, but the memo also found progressive messaging resonates with voters. Jayapal noted that even though Democrats want to generate turnout among surge voters without alienating swing voters, the data shows the same messaging works with both groups of people.

A majority of the voters surveyed preferred a bold economic vision, as opposed to an incremental approach. When asked, 52 percent said they prefer “a bold and comprehensive agenda to rewrite the rules of the economy,” compared to the 36 percent of voters who would choose to “make our economy work for everyone by building on the success of the past.”

Another takeaway from the memo, Jayapal said, is that talking about race is not something Democrats “should shy away from.” Support for a policy to “improve opportunity for working and low-income families — white, black, and brown — by investing $2 trillion in rebuilding our roads, bridges, schools, and communities, while creating millions of good-paying jobs” had more support among likely voters than the phrasing of the policy that did not include race........

I can say the same thing about your end, too. Super Tuesday shut down the "dont vote" fraud militants and they are rapidly dwindling in numbers when the older black vote showed up in 2008 type numbers.

The Progressives are not going away.

how is it full retard when its actual facts being posted. not opinion? Notice the difference. Bernie is one man that is old as hell. messing around with the Sars 2.0, bernie could've smashed joe biden, smashed trump, got in office and killed over from Corona Virus the next day. what would that mean for a progressive movement? It would die with his old a... Thats why you will continue to see these threads. Because we've learned on Super Tuesday there are more misinformed people than we thought. Now we know, and now you will be hit with actual factual information. Keep pushing opinion, and I'll keep pushing facts.

I'm with the progressive agenda. Progressives just need to work on message delivery. Bernie's been improving alot but folks just remember REVOLUTION and SOCIALIST and TOTAL RESTRUCTURE and it drowns out how beneficial the actual policies will be for the people.

It makes sense for the younger black voters to get behind those messages of revolution, etc. because the revolutionaries are who fought and died for us to gain some sort of forward progress.

However, not everyone want the militancy of REVOLUTION, they just want a better life without having to go to civil war for it.

I could be trippin but it's just my perspective.

who is shouting revolution only? no one. not the youngins, and not the middles and not the olders. so where is this coming from? its not real. its like "bernie bros" its not real in the grand scheme of things.

People that pay attention know the policies. and like the policies, some want them to go even further to better people's situation.

But messaging to the point of lying is not a good thing either. the truth is this, when you really want something, like really really want it and the other party is not willing to play fair. odds are you're probably going to have to fight to get it. and doing so is a revolution. even if its a revolution back to some kind of normalcy of america before the corporations took back over. you can't avoid that messaging because to do so would be to lie to the people.

Bernie nor any progressive can't just play the politician card because you're going to need heavy people power to force other politicians to either get in line or get voted out. you cant just win an election and thats it. you will need others in your congress (federal or local) to ride with you on those progressive policies or else they wont get done. Bernie knows this, because he came up thru the civil rights movement. i'm not talking about was alive during that time. he was actually in it, getting arrested with the people as a college student. That is what he knows works, because he has seen it work numerous times throughout history.

He also knows it works because it worked for him as the Mayor of Burlington. He already knows even if he won it all and became the president his happy time would last for 2 minutes and back to reality, now i have go up against both establishment parties and their members, and the news media on both sides trying to misinform people, and corporations, and the super rich. So you will need to force some corporate politicians to do what is on the agenda or lose their seat. you can only do that if you got people in the chamber ready to be shot out the cannon at those politicians in their home states. there's a reason bernie told you exactly how he would get these things done. Because thats the only way they could get done. these people are not budging unless you force their hand. He knows it works because it has worked for him before not just in Vermont. but also vs Walmart and Amazon with the minimum wage. he had people ready to Ride on these companies on and off line. to force them to do the right thing. it worked.

says who? and when you say WE, who are WE?

i just created the thread that had data to backup the point that progressive policies work in purple districts. so if the left like progressive policies, and the middles like progressive policies. even if the right doesnt. thats more than enough to state we are a left wing country. it doesnt mean we're all left wing on every SOCIAL issue. or every economic issue. but it does mean by enlarge we are more left than we are right. Dont let the corporate media fool you into believing we are all what they want us to be Middle road or right side not looking for anything from them.

you never heard any more bs. and saying You can't wait for a dude thats losing his mind literally to beat a guy who isnt and is running for the people. says a lot about you my friend. a whole lot.

and no it wont stop around here when its over. so you might as well buckle up.

Polling Shows Running on Progressive Policies Would Work in Swing Districts

The problem is that it doesn't show that. That polling would be believable if we didn't just find out that once again the youth vote stayed home. Even though, they polled very well with Bernie's proposals. It's not about if people agree. It's about do they agree enough to vote for you.

The only way --at this point-- Bernie gets a surge from the Dems, young and old, is if this downturn turns into 2008 again.

I'm surprised Bernie is not screaming Medicare 4 All from every rooftop available. While shytting on the way "capitalism" has handled this medical crisis.

The youth vote always stays home during primaries. this is a thing we all know. sure they have come out more in some years than others but for the most part. kids dont vote in primaries just like a lot of people that arent heavy into voting never vote during primaries(which is a shame).

And this is not about bernie. its about progressive policies in purple districts/purple states in general.

you know how you start hearing people talking about the reason they would vote for biden even though he can't speak was because at least he can help down ballot people win races in purple areas and even some read. well the truth is, so could a progressive person(sanders and anyone else).

Here's the truth. and this is all hopes and prayers obviously. lets say the playing field was leveled. and the DNC never meddled, never said a word and never over or under pushed their agenda to remain the corporate dems.

lets say the mainstream media never pushed the DNCs agenda to listeners/watchers of their shows. lets say they just stated the facts and gave us real news and the full story on these different people/policies. In that scenario if Purple district people/purple states were presented with Bernie like policies vs Biden like aka corporate dem like (i'm not going to do much) policies. more of them would side with bernie like policies.

THEE only reason in the primaries a lot of these dems that need thoes policies do not vote in their best interest is due to being misinformed ON PURPOSE by the DNC and the mainstream media.

and lastly, you brought up what happened on super tuesday and what may happen this week. Thats still not relevant to this thread. Who votes in most of these primaries? DEMS. because it is the DEM primary. sure some are open to all so an independent or repub could vote in them if they chose to. but all of those voters that would vote during the general are not taking time out of their day to vote in the dem primary. they're just not doing it like that. some are for strategic reasons, while others are not even thinking about a dem primary like that. You will only know if you poll ALL voters(Dems/Repubs/Independents in purple districts) whatver they say is what it truly is in those areas. this article proves they have stated they like progressive policies. period.

why would i care as a progressive how many moderate dems flipped red seats into purplish blue?those policies do nothing for me. and they do not vote in lockstep if a true progressive policy is brought up. there's a reason why obama couldnt get half of what he should've gotten done his first couple of years with both the house and the senate as blue. that right there showed us all what this was really about and it wasnt Blues love us vs reds dont. nope, blues love corporations and reds love corporations.
