They exist, sadly.
They're awful. Or, at least, awful citizens. The problem is that the Dem party thinks they're "In the middle", but though some might THINK of themselves that way, that's not what they really are. They're people who vote on vibes. When the Dems move policy right, it doesn't ACTUALLY sway most of them. They don't have real policy positions, and they're quick to endorse contradictory positions as simple 'common sense'. One might think this level of ignorance would lend itself to GOP partisanship, and probably it does in many cases, but I have unfortunately known pretty indisputably non-GOP voters who have this same poor civic education.
Yes, perhaps "legendary" or "elusive" would be a better word choice.
SNL pretty much nails it: https://youtu.be/KAG37Kw1-aw?si=0a6O4mCCtLTv7ium
I think such voters don't have a theory of power, just some "vibes" based on minimal news consumption, so they change with the wind.
On the bright(?) side, at least the woman at 0:55 has turned into a reliable Democrat voter these days because her issue is actually on the ballot...
