If the Democrats moved to the right of the GOP, they might stand a chance of clawing back lost ground.
No chance that’s gonna happen. With the way they think, they don’t have to change at all.
Its always someone else’s fault.
I made that suggestion to some TN Democrats (where the party is now effectively dead except for leftist hipster urban White areas, union thug areas, and low-info VRA areas), and they just shook their heads. They want the party to be even further to the left. Hey, I tried...
Agreed. In the Antebellum Era, national party politics divided both the Democrats and Whigs unto themselves on a regional basis. Funny how things don’t change.
Until the 1960’s, Democrat majorities in the South were built on aggressive exploitation of the racism of low-education/lower income whites. Then came the Democrats’ national shift into being the “black socialist” party, and their Southern white support began a steady decline.
The Democrats might have a long-term prayer in the South through a coalition of blacks and hispanics, once populations of the latter grow via Obama’s open borders (and if they avoid the logical power-struggle with blacks). But the idea that the Dems can “attract” white voters with a black socialist national platform is beyond moonshine. Interesting that it’s the best they can come up with.
