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.

Especially when almost half of US states already require background checks.
Anyone who has spent any amount of time around firearm owners and those groups of people would laugh in your face if you tried to tell them that 90% of Americans think there should be more gun laws.
The graphic seems to be cherry picking data to make it seem like the majority of Americans already have progressive ideals so obviously they should just be progressives.
America is a center right nation. The majority of Americans are somewhere between center and right of center. While many of them might agree with one or two of those things on the image we all know that it's not gonna be popular across the board.
