Americans, mostly women, are becoming more liberal: Gallup - eviltoast

American political ideology as a whole has shifted left in recent years, but women are becoming even more liberal, according to Gallup.

The survey data, released Wednesday, shows that while the country remains largely center-right, the percentage of those identifying as or leaning liberal has increased over the past three decades, and is now just 1 percent under it’s all-time high.

Roughly 36 percent of adults identify as conservative, 25 percent as liberal and the rest identify as either moderate or unsure, according to the poll.

When broken down by gender ideology, women in the youngest and oldest age groups said they were more likely to identify as liberal.

Women ages 18-29 were 40 percent more likely to be liberal in 2023, a slight decrease from 41 percent in 2022 and 44 percent in 2020, but still higher than the 30 percent in 2013. Those ages 65 and older were 25 percent more likely to identify as liberal — a slight increase from the 21 percent reported in 2013.

      Also, your choices are:

      A. Support a strike blocking, genocide supporting piece of shit, or

      B. Support the Russians AND support a strike blocking, genocide supporting piece of shit.

      Your perfect candidate is not running, if they even exist.

        That’s not a democracy buddy. Like if not voting for Biden is a vote for Russia then you’re only a very reasonable step away from saying “And a vote for Russia is a crime”. Game over man.

        Your perfect candidate is not running, if they even exist.

        There were plenty of great options in the 2020 primaries. Piece of shit Boomers rejected all of those.

          Do you want to vote for Russia?
