Opinion: Voters aren’t playing along with the media narrative
Sen. Bernie Sanders participates in a moderated discussion at the We the People Summit in Washington last month. By Jennifer Rubin Jennifer Rubin Opinion writer covering politics and policy, foreign and domestic Email Bio Follow Opinion writer May 7 at 1:00 PM The mainstream media narratives persist: The Democratic Party has been taken over by the far left. There’s a war between the status quo Democrats who just want to get rid of President Trump and the radicals who want fundamental change.
Morning Consult’s pollsters explain, “Since his announcement, Biden has seen a 14-point gain with voters ages 55-64 and a 12-point gain with those 65+.” Because they are less active on social media and are outside many reporters’ age bracket, these older voters can get short shrift. Some stories make you think that the quintessential Democratic voter is a young urban-dweller who voted for Sanders in 2016. Such voters exist , but they do not make up a majority of Democrats.
In its groundbreaking 8,000-person survey, More in Common found that “progressive activists” in the electorate are 92 percent white. Of all the “political tribes” it identified in its report on “The Exhausted Majority,” only “devoted conservatives” are more consistently white. Appealing to the broad demographic diversity of the party is an absolute imperative for 2020.
