Re: Campaign 2016 Part XI: the Two Party Problem
I was thinking that myself, but I'm not sure how well Dean and Sanders get along even though they're from the same state. If Sanders pushed for replacing DWS with Howard Dean, I would come out this here message board and take back every negative thing I've said about the man!Originally posted by Handyman View Post
Regarding the smugness article, as a pretty smug guy myself I wasn't as big of a fan of it. Author seemed to gloss over too much and it read like the Nixon Eastern Elite manifesto from the late 60's - early 70's. Also as bronco alluded to the Southern Strategy as well as the whole Lee Atwater model for campaigning made elections for many people not about holding politicians accountable for things they can control but more about racial, religious and moral litmus tests.
I think people are making this a lot more complicated than it is. When the Greatest Generation was dominant, liberalism thrived as they saw the need for govt intervention in the Great Depression, and international alliances and shared sacrifice of WWII. After them came whiny self centered Baby Boomers who saw none of that. As they hit the voting pool in the 70's and 80's (only the oldest boomers would have been 21 in time for the '68 elections) you started seeing Republicans on the upswing as they spoke to the "me, first" generation. Now that generation is fading along with the older Silent Generation as the Gen X'ers identify with the Clinton Presidency and Millennials want to go even more left, so the Democrats have now outvoted the GOP in 5 out of 6 Presidential contests. Its not a matter of talking down, talking up, or talking sideways. Its generational and demographic.Legally drunk???? If its "legal", what's the ------- problem?!? - George Carlin

But at least this time it's inevitable. Any Democratic nominee has to get used to being called a Statist Socialist Satanist.
