still can't believe there's a neolib reddit

I don't know why its blowing my mind, I just figured neolibs just were aggressively Conventional and Reasonable, with ideology being some vestigial thing rather than something someone was capable of being actually proud of.

is the neolib subreddit better or worse than the 12-year old conservatives they trot out to cpac or the rnc every couple of years that invariably grow out of the phase and become obama or bernie fans a couple years later

yah, and I just looked up the exit polling on the OH dem primary and just lolol at whiskey-the-juvie bc 18-29 year olds in OH went sanders over clinton 81 percent to 19 percent and that age group comprised 15 percent of the OH primary vote (and 19 percent of the OH general-election vote).

but sanders should have done more to attract the youth vote in OH, lmao.

I'm not questioning that Bernieism is wildly popular among Democratic-voting youth; his theory of the campaign wasn't margin-based but turnout-based, though

e: that is, as a share of the primary vote, the 18-29 were also around 15% in 2008; it doesn't seem that Sanders brought out new voters, merely won already existing ones

and when it comes to building a party or movement or whatever, we've all been talking about the non-voter itt

Yeah, it's weird because the entire point of calling yourself a centrist is to be actively ignorant of the ideologies and policy prescriptions that result from said ideologies but still pretend that you're an enlightened figure who's somehow above petty partisanship or politics itself. Actually arguing and communicating ideas undoes that whole venture from a foundational level.

hence my pointing out the 2015 law that subsequently presented a barrier to 200,000 students for voting in the state. And the law would have first been in effect during the 2016 primary.

pretty sure that across pretty much every demographic category you can think of (except the religious ones) it's like 62% disapprove of abortion and 52% think it should be legal, or something like that

it's really sticky and hasn't shifted much at all in decades

abortion is like, 1/4 "free abortion with your next oil change," 1/4 "you should really be careful about that but go ahead," 1/4 "only in the case of rape or incest. only. no other times," and 1/4 "kill anyone who thinks about killing a baby"

most people are pro-choice, but the middle gradient can also be pro life depending on how the question is phrased
