    Like I said. I want our government to move left. The only difference between me and you is you aren’t actually trying to improve anything. You think that by spreading misinformation about democrats (all of which I called out and you’ve had no response to) you will somehow move the Democratic Party left. At least that’s the bad faith argument. In reality what you are doing is handing the government over to the GOP by doing their work for them. But you know that because you’ve made it pretty clear that you’re doing it intentionally.

    You either build, or destroy. You choice is pretty clear imo.

    Right and as I’ve shown, you’re spreading misinformation about democrats and in the process you’re helping the GOP. So it’s pretty clear you’re not building anything.

    Fuckin lol, X to doubt. This you?

    Yeah, and this was also me from the same post, sharing sources from the article in the meme:

    So the writer came to this conclusion after reading [this](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/05/23/opinion/international-world/centrists-democracy.html) other article that came to it’s conclusions from this:

    I examined the data from the most recent[ ](http://www.worldvaluessurvey.org/WVSDocumentationWV6.jsp)[World Values Survey](http://www.worldvaluessurvey.org/WVSDocumentationWV6.jsp) (2010 to 2014) and[ ](http://www.europeanvaluesstudy.eu/page/survey-2008.html)[European Values Survey](http://www.europeanvaluesstudy.eu/page/survey-2008.html)(2008), two of the most comprehensive studies of public opinion carried out in over 100 countries. The survey asks respondents to place themselves on a spectrum from far left to center to far right. I then plotted the proportion of each group’s support for key democratic institutions. (A copy of my working paper, with a more detailed analysis of the survey data, [can be found here](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fOGwtRUF-y-98IcDs-3YYrtREl8GbaoH/view).)

    Basically two surveys from over a decade ago that survey people across the planet. Not in the US…

    In other words the writer is trying to present their opinion as fact.

    Gee, I wonder why you would leave out the context. Then again, you don’t even read your own sources so why would you read mine.
