Most who analyze last week’s elections will do so from the perspective they want to promote. Democrats will be faced with the far-left saying they won all the races because that is where people are. In reality, only six Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) candidates were elected to the House and one to the Senate. The New York Times published a piece noting that voters overwhelmingly chose moderate candidates. A recent Pew Research poll found: “While only about a quarter of Americans explicitly rate themselves as “moderate” (center of the 11-point scale), over half of the U.S. public is within two points of the center, which is a broad measure of moderateness. This means that a majority of Americans are not strongly liberal or conservative, even if they identify with a party.” We will find out where the next set of Democratic primary voters are, state by state, when we begin the primaries for president.
