(62,325 posts)there is absolutely no reason for the shift of the Democratic Party to the right.
Well, actually there is an explanation for it. Read Josh's posts eg. Thankfully as more and more people reject those views, we have more hope of actually changing things. We are stuck this time with little choice, but I hope that this is the last time. I know that people are thinking very hard about the future and about their own part in helping to keep this terrible system in place.
But from everyone I talk to, especially young people, things are very different as far as the apathy of the people, and the 'loyalty' to one party or another goes now than they have been in the past. Even as the partisans attempt to dismiss the shifting sands beneath them and continue to attempt to bully people into continuing the status quo, their own leaders are ensuring that things will not remain the same.
It wouldn't be the first time in history for a major change to take place within the system.
