Comfortably Moderate
After last election's wipeout this is a legitimate question. The Democrat platform of race baiting, woman pandering, and class warfare was shown to be a total failure. So if they can't run on those things, what can they win with? The Democrats increasingly look like a shrinking party, popular only in the inner cities, and on college campuses. Even the non-government unions are sick of them, having gotten royally fucked by Obamacare and other regulatory intitiatives.
A look at their leadership reveals no new faces. Reid is 74. So is Pelosi. Those mentioned as presidential candidates are either retreads, like Clinton, or extreme left wingers who wont attract a following outside the welfare classes.
With the biggest history of failed policies in a generation Democrats seem to be out of ideas. "BOOSH" just doesnt sell like it used to.
The 2014 election had the lowest voter turnout in 72 years as a piddly 36.6% of eligible voters, voted. That a pretty strong display of total apathy that is directed at both parties and magnifies both parties disconnect with the American people. The GOP gathered 22% of all the eligible voter vote.
A more accurate question is, can America survive with such a piss poor representative form of government that shuns America's core beliefs?
Now is the time for a party that would represent a majority of Americans and not the fringe of America.
Rabbi's question is the same question pundits were asking about the GOP after the election in 2008.
I'd love to see both parties disappear and see sensibility return to Washington and America.
