Zeteo commissioned this poll from Data for Progress and it is pretty clear that the Democratic base prefers the progressive/leftist position on every issue from Israel-Palestine to healthcare to even immigration.

The irony of Americans electing a fascist because they were more concerned about getting lower grocery prices than saving democracy and then they end up losing democracy AND getting higher grocery prices 🤦🏽♂️
Coffee, shrimp, other foods could soar with Trump tariffs
