    The statistics you mention … are presumably talking about voters, not the electorate.

    nope. the electorate, when polled, shows popular support for progressive policies, and this is true even outside of exit polls.

    not really sure what the rest of your comment is trying to say so i will leave it at clarifying that misconception. feel free to clarify if you are interested in further discussion i’m just a bit confused sorry.

      Ah I think I understand what you’re trying to say, and I think I’m in agreement. So indeed the electorate is economically progressive, but there is no party on the ballot which represents progressive policies, and hence, by definition, one’s policy preferences have a very loose relationship who you vote for.
