minus-squareAlk@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·edit-22 months agoAlright listen. I am definitely an optimist. But these are not really optimistic statistics in this article: • 57% think the “culture wars” are overblown in terms of how important the issues of those debates are to daily life • 57% think most Americans get along with one another • 56% believe that opportunities exist for nearly all to attain the American dream. When almost half of Americans think opportunities do not exist for everyone to attain the American dream, something is wrong.
