on February 21, 1848.

So no one should be surprised that a lot of people are informed, or misinformed, by a lifetime of propaganda.

It will be a disability in many states, especially voters over 30.

The distaste for Socialism has disappeared in most of the younger voters I know (under 30).

I will say, that I don't think Democrats will carry Texas, but there are purple states where it will be an issue.
