The Radicalization of America

[Derideo_Te]

Despite all the blather about "right wingers" wanting to do this and that, the real change in American politics has been the radicalization of the Democratic Party, which would have been unrecognizable just 20 years ago. Today, socialist anarchy is not only accepted but embraced as a basic tenet of the Party. Is this the natural evolution of 1960s radicalism, or is it a new movement based on changing societal values and economic realities?

I think it may be more of the latter, fueled by the destruction of the middle class in this country. Even two-parent households are more likely to have both parents working $20 per hour jobs and struggling to make ends meet, thereby creating ever greater reliance on government programs. Can our once-great private sector economy be revived, or are we irreversibly destined to go down another path?

And this explains why 52% of Americans think the GOP is extreme and 38% think the Dems are extreme per Pew?
GOP’s Favorability Rating Takes a Negative Turn

Yet still pulled off huge electoral victories nation wide................

Only in an off year election with record low voter turnout.

And the results are different how?

The real change in American politics began when Republicans went further right. Don't believe me?

You should start a thread with that as the OP!

Guaranteed to attract the extremist rightwanker fringe element.

Republicans paved our highways with tax dollars, created the epa, nasa, etc. At one time they were a great party...Today it is all about cut, slash, deregulate and burn.

You can spin it anyway you want,you can't change the results.

Funny how 2010 was a huge year for republicans and yet Obama won 350 electoral votes in 2012! non-whites and most moderates stay home on off years.

Infrastructure, science, education, etc didn't cause this debt. Your wars, bail-outs for the rich and our broken healthcare system did. How is breaking the back of our economy going to help us out of debt?

99% of your opinions are wrong!

Especially those that relate to the Constitution.

I'll be more than happy to take my life and opinions before The Divine than yours.

You and your ilk have spent a century and a half using the US Constitution for toilet paper so your views on it are immaterial to me.

Higher turnout favors the Dems. That explains the incessant obsession amongst the GOP to suppress voter turnout.

You mistake me for a Christian, which I am not. I find no use for organized religion.

That doesn't alter the nature of your obsolete deity or your pre-civilization beliefs.

Onus is on you to prove that will happen and no, you can't because no one knows squat about what happens after you die.

So no, I am not afraid of your fearmongering superstitions.

If you want others to believe your authoritarian drivel you have to substantiate it.

You have admitted to having none whatsoever.

I have less than no care wherther people agree with me or not. All I care about is seeing a Nation and Government based on those ideals. A nation whose Government does not allow for change.
