President Trump's approval ratings in polls are in the high 30% to low 40% range. In the 2024 election Trump got 77 million votes and Harris got 75 million.

We know the polls are biased and the numbers cooked and we know the Dems steal/create votes.

However, if every legally eligible citizen voted and no ineligible (dead, illegal, felon) voted, what would you say would be the accurate split be in the US between liberal, moderate (swing voters) and conservatives?

I think it is very close. The liberal threat is real.

Something like 16% extreme on both sides, 30% moderate-partisan on both sides, and 8% solidly in the middle who can shift easily either direction in a national election.

I'll say the DEMs probably have a 1-1.5% advantage overall in terms of lean

In a perfectly fair election I think JDV would win the electoral college something like 293-245 over Newsom.

In an unfair election with fraudulent ballots? Very scary.

The real split is idealism.

The libs think everyone can have a good life.

The conservatives know that society must have winners and losers.

The moderates know that both of those groups solutions (voting democrats or republicans out and the opposite in) just results in a different brand of corruption every 4 years.

Voting lean will always favor democrats with higher voter turnout by a few %

Probably similar to the revolutionary war era,

40% Patriot

20% Tory

40% Neutral

Abortion is a huge deal with women. I have had many women(AWFL’s of course) tell me that they will never ever vote for a Republican strictly because of the abortion issue & they vote Blue No Matter Who. These aren’t bright people we are dealing with.

Those who believe the Constitution sustains us and those who think it is a hindrance.

Actual liberals are as rare as hens teeth these days. "Liberals" these days are leftists, socialists, communists and various forms of Marxists along with their useful idiots.

approval ratings mean dick.. case in point, the dems congressional approval rating is in the teens. Hasn't slowed them down one bit and their constituents haven't ran them out of office either

It is very easy to buy idealism with gifts from the public coffers.

I don't know, but anecdotally, we're not as divided as the media makes it seem. Unfortunately, our two-party system has us pick a football team. The overwhelming majority of my friends fall close to the middle on either side, and it is rare that I know people on the far right or left. We have far more in common than differences, and when/if we discuss politics it's based on the premise that life is nuanced.

Definition of Conservatism
quote:

Conservatism is a cultural, social, and political philosophy and ideology that seeks to promote and preserve traditional institutions, customs, and values. The central tenets of conservatism may vary in relation to the culture and civilization in which it appears

Definition of Liberalism
quote:

Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property, and equality before the law.

Now consider conservatives in tUSA should be liberals.
Definition of Progressivism
quote:

a political philosophy and social reform movement focused on advancing the public good through government action and often calling for government to be used to meet popular social, political, economic, and environmental needs and demands and to advance rights and protections for marginalized groups : the principles, beliefs, or practices of political progressives

After understanding all three, we see that Dems and GOP are both progressive and are fighting over the best direction to progress the country.

Real conservatives are probably <10%
Real liberals probably the same <10%

The real argument is what side all you progressives fall on in your fight to "get something done".

We all know, thats why Republicans gerrymander,
say elections are stolen, and have to keep the ancient electoral college to have a chance at winning.

Basically, their ideas are not popular, like now

So you have zero understanding about how our nation's government was built and why

Seems they were much more popular than the other option the last time around.

Care to make even more of a fool of yourself?

The problem is Democrats have promised a generation they were going to give them free shite for doing absolutely nothing, and now they can no longer fulfill that promise.

They have created a following of lemmingings who want everything that people who work a minimum of 40 hour weeks have, without lifting a finger.

You see a large portion of the Black vote has finally awaken and realized the lie and stepped away from the plantation. They are no longer a banked guarantee demographic voter.

I believe there are far more Conservative Americans than those of the Pedo-Commie party. And in the Independent field, many of them also fall with Conservatives.
Just look at the majority of people who don't have a problem with ICE and also understand we should not be cutting sex organs off of minors.

Democrats have nothing valuable to the average working American

Not sure what polls you are using but Trump tweeted out he has the highest approval numbers ever and I believe him. Everyone I know loves what he is doing. Anyone else is watching be media
