Perpetuates the false dichotomy of a linear political spectrum of either liberal or conservative and that in and of itself is one of the reasons for these trends

the graph explicitly takes 1 dimension of the spectrum to look at it in isolation. This is exactly what single graphs do best.

which this survey completely ignores, conveniently

have you looked at the source of the graph?

Why would you intentionally look at this complex situation in 1 dimension. That dimension being the most overplayed talked about dimension because it creates conflict between groups based on identities. Instead of looking at the actual problem that the dimension completely ignores.
