Instead of a paragraph explaining how to read the chart, add a headline
(Ideologies of major parties in Congress) and a shorter piece of summary
text. Label More liberal v More conservative ^ and the party names
directly on the chart and add a simple key:
● [dots] the range of ideologies within a party
● [lines] median ideology within a party
● [grey line] median across all parties ← could even put this label
directly on the chart
