Americans, mostly women, are becoming more liberal: Gallup
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.
I thought Lemmy was created to avoid the censorship and bans on Reddit
I'm banned on Reddit politics and worldnews for posting leftist opinions. Frankly I'm fine with this becoming a leftist echo chamber because I'm not interested in rehashing the same tired arguments over and over again.
Don't block strikes. Don't support genocide. If you don't need our votes ignore us. If you need our votes you have to listen to us.
It's pretty simple stuff really. Take it or leave it.
That kind of attitude leads to totalitarianism. You need robust debate for a democracy to actually succeed.
Furthermore when you're surrounded by echo chambers of your own opinions you get dumber over time. That applies to the left and the right and it's a big reason why the right is so bonkers now.
You shouldn't support creating a maga of the left.
Alright. Go solve it on Reddit then.
Why? Looks like they've managed to take over the Republican party. If leftists took over the Democrat party maybe it'd finally be worth a shit.
Put my name into .ml mod logs to disabuse you of this fiction.
I mean communism is trash and tankies are literally against freedom of speech so I'm just glad all of Lemmy is not like that
It was. Then the tankies found a safe haven here amongst leftist mods and now it’s a shit show of flavor of the week manufactured outrage.
Literally the only reason I'm here is to avoid censorship so if this place starts doing that I'll just delete everything and walk away and find another replacement.
Oh. They censor. Trust me, they censor.
Well I won't get too attached I guess. I refuse to help build up another Reddit that is anti free speech.
Oh it’s totally free speech here. Just be careful what you say about Marxism/communism on certain instances. It’s only free speech in those of you agree with the hive.
I mean I will absolutely just stay away from anything with .ml
People have warned me. I value freedom of speech more than almost anything after having it taken from me on the internet. I now understand how precious this constitutional freedom is. And I understand how the lack of it destroys society.
I rest my case.
