I find it interesting that only 8% of this forum actually supports options 1-2, but Republicans constantly act like that's what the entire Democratic Party supports.
The Biden administration is in camp 3, and most Democrats are split between camps 3/4 while most Republicans are split between camps 4/5. We're really not that far apart according to the poll.
The problem is that camp 5 should actually be split between two camps -- camp 5 and camp 6, where camp 6 is camp 5 but you also believe the vaccine is a brain chip, COVID can be cured by drinking piss and eating horse dewormer, Dr. Fauci is an international supercriminal who should be executed, and Biden is the ringleader of a vast conspiracy to use COVID to create the New World Order. About 30% of the Republican Party is in this camp, and Joe Rogan constantly brings them on his show to promote this viewpoint while he nods along in agreement. There's not really any equivalent to this on the Democratic side. And this is what's causing so much societal chaos.
My main respect for AAD in 2020 was that it was only left leaning site on the internet which seemed more skeptical of covid-measures. Now it seems like TalkElections.org is the most prominent left wing site that rejects lockdowns and covid measures.
I was not against lockdowns because I want people to die. I was against lockdowns due to the logistics, the precedent being set, and the sheer fact that we are not able to effectively control the virus via human agency.
