I never one time said your sources weren't credible. I said that if all you have is a single survey study to discuss, and not a larger overarching study, that i'll pass. I said that because its not a fruitful conversation nor was it really very on topic of Kavanaugh.
However, you were the person who brought up the original point of "more liberals" in an attempt to say the USSC should reflect them, demographically. I asked what reason you had to think this, because I don't believe that more of the country is liberal than conservative. you seem to be right that liberals are gaining, something that only slightly surprises me given technologies effect on the political spectrum and polarization, not to mention the current president. but you're wrong about the overall demographics, you're wrong that the USSC should be demographically set, you're wrong that it should have more liberals for "reasons", and even if you were right that it should be demographic it would still be 5-4 conservative.
I suppose now that you've brought a couple sources we could talk about how more people are liberal, maybe how more young people are liberal. but once I mention that more people are political today dye to polarization, and more young people fall into the liberal category, is there anything more to say?
Thank you for admitting i'm right in regards to liberalism gaining ground over time :)
I MAY (i think liberals may be scared to identify themselves as liberals just like trump voters are scared to indentify themselves as trump voters) have been wrong (that there are more liberals now than conservatives) about the current demographics BUT my point stands that liberalism is increasing over time while the conservatism of the SCOTUS remains steady over time thanks to lifetime appointments (by G.O.P. presidents who likely benefit from the electoral college).
Anyways done with this discussion, let's get back to kavanaugh being a sexual predator ;)
