I think a guy who was a regular Democrat voter in the 1970s...probably is standing there today and just shaking his head because it is a party mostly tied to twenty agenda items which half of them simply aren’t what the typical Democrat would support.
Take up gun talk. If you talk to a dozen Democrats over the age of 50...at least ten probably own a gun and don’t really want any changes done to the current rules of their state.
Go talk about taxation, and most will whine that they’ve worked hard to get to where they are at age fifty, and don’t understand where the tax money is being spent.
Go bring up college costs with a 50-year old Democrat who has a kid or two lined up for college....they will talk mostly like a Republican.
I won’t say it’s a singular problem because half of the Republicans over the age of fifty are fed up with their party as well. Same issues.
My father was a Democrat. He died in 1971. I seriously doubt he would be a Democrat today.
And yet the author thinks Gore was a squeaky clean wonderful candidate. The author should do some studies into the “green” money Gore has been stealing hand over fist.
