Today "Searchlight Institute" (Adam Jentleson in a trenchcoat) is shopping this BS around. It destroys its own thesis.
12% of Democrats, more than any other group, place "illegal immigrants should be deported" under "Extremely Liberal" or "Liberal". And 25% overall say "no income taxes" is leftist
![More lunacy, deception and/or brainlessness from Third Way's Jon Cowan: "Q: How do you define lefty versus moderate?
Some of it is on policy. If you are for Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, abolishing ICE, open borders, you’re a lefty. And those things will really haunt you in a general election.
Who do you appeal to? What’s your brand and approach in politics? Are you more pragmatic? Do you have an unabashed love of the country? [Or] are you kind of hypercritical of America? Are you willing to pick a range of fights, not just the fights that are really safe and convenient? What’s your track record, also, with winning over swing voters?
NYTimes: Who stands out to you so far as most willing to lean in on tough fights?
Cowan: Josh Shapiro has had some pretty significant fights. Shapiro has been willing to take on the teachers’ unions in specific instances. Gavin Newsom is trying to defeat the billionaire’s tax. That’s a huge fight inside the Democratic Party, and that’s actually pretty gutsy of him.
Ruben Gallego took some pretty strong stands on immigration. Obviously, Rahm [Emanuel] is the one who’s most unleashed right now. But there’s a range of folks."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4fg5e23al6dmtset5wz4pgjp/bafkreih3h4kgt5b7bli2uul225pkms64j3f64mbsfuxrukzjo5kk4vy67m)
![From the daily mail’s article about the clip:
“The Daily Mail spoke to Max [REDACTED], a
Minneapolis tax attorney who filmed the original clip, about what he saw that day.
[REDACTED]'s son attends daycare not far from where he filmed and participates in a group Signal chat of parents who have been 'patrolling the corners near the entrances' for ICE agents.
After he dropped off his son and went to work, a member of the group chat said that ICE had showed up a block from his son's daycare.
'I ended up going to observe and as I got there, got there right at the moment where Mr Pretti was being confronted and assaulted by some
ICE individuals,' [REDACTED] said.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4fg5e23al6dmtset5wz4pgjp/bafkreifugwmivvz35yareof3vh6ed6khred5hpgkjnyv7hpjje7hsnbjtq)
