Have you ever noticed it's always about 30% of our population that always votes goofy? It's endemic.

Yes. You make a correct observation. In the early seventies I started noticing that same 28-29 % showing up on matters concerning the Vietnam war. The trend, once noticed, has remained fairly constant during the past thirty years and it helps to explain why the democratic party is in the condition it is in.

They can depend on that hard core ultra left-wing (politics really does have two wings. With just a right-wing the bird would fall on it's a--.) Given the constant support of the fringe left, there aren't many regular folks left supporting the party.

The democratic party not only leans left, it is almost horizontal. When it becomes totally horizontal it will be dead.
