Has liberal really just become the opposite of conservative? And if so, in the age of Trump "conservatism" is a meaningless word anyway. Does it follow that liberalism is too? Where the feck are we at?
 
If the voters want what Bernie and Warren are saying, then Bernie or Warren will be the candidate. If they're not, it's because the majority of the voters didn't want what they were saying. The jury is out on that one.
If Bernie or Warren don't win its because of the DNC or because of super delegates or because of Hillary and not because of any other reason.... Or something like that.

Pretty interesting experiment. And if that were the case also shows that unity of all of Acela, Labor and Green would be necessary to defeat the natural coalition of Conservative+Nationalist. Is pretty much the discussion going on in the Democratic primaries and will continue to be in coming years unless something changes about the other side.

Yup, the natural left coalition is labour+green, it's roughly equal to nationalist+conservative, with liberals holding the balance.
The generational thing is a little more hopeful though :drool:
 
Thought that too. It's skewed too far to the right, but it's an interesting idea nonetheless. I'd see Obama as a conservative, "Acela" at a push.

Yeah hope + change = status quo so I'm struggling to see the working class centre left angle.

Given how balanced the results are, the skewing appears to be only in your mind and not the structure of the experiment. But also they didn't name the parties or hypothetical leaders during their fieldwork per what they report, just the policies.

The skewing is the result of the floating heads they placed by the descriptions. Obama fits Acela based on the policy description. Bernie's head next to Labour would be more appropriate.
 

Why is AOC green and not Labour ? Plus I don't see much difference between Conservative (traditional-right, pre-Trump) and a “Acela Party”.

Also this.
 
I literally can't stop watching the first one, it is straight out of a cult or something
