Time to break free of traditional political ideological labeling and divisions. Time to abandon old, divisive sociopolitical labels like "liberal" and "conservative".

A new political party based on a vastly, commonly held virtures lends itself to embrace over 66% of Americans, and it clearly embraces progressive principled thinking. In the most ideal American sense of unity, a political party should not be able to be defined or placed as "to the left" or "to the right" of where the Democratic or Republican parties currently are. Just let it exist organically based on present-day principled thinking. The American Progressive Majority.

32% of America own guns. So right off the bat that 72% number is wrong.

44% live in a household with a gun.

Other than the gun shit, I agree with most of this.

I want legalized Marijuana for example, but I want harsher penalties for its use in public; especially its smell.

Funny, I want those same penalties for rolling coal

Me too. Probably agree on most things.

That could totally just be the margin of error.

68% is not that far off from 72%
