Topic: Liberalism on life support. | |
---|---|
What a stretch this thread is. All the demographics point the opposit direction. Most young people are either liberal or independant. the future does not look good for the regressive right. The people with money of course support the right wing think tanks and institutions they have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. They have fox news and Clear channel radio that is a given but we have the future. I don't know that you are right exactly but I do know I want to be long dead before 'social'conservatives ever have too much power. Personally I think the farther to the right, the right goes, the less likely they will ever have too much control. So I say go for it. The same goes for the left.

That's the horizon of American politics today. But the catch about looking over the horizon is that you can't be quite sure of what you've seen until you get there http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2009/03/for_dems_demographics_are_not.html The more interesting number are the number of people who didn't vote. Of the 208,323,000 eligible voters 131 million Americans voted leaving some 36% not voting or 74,996,280 not voting and 1,862,347 voted for third party candidates. |

What's sad here is I think that number is actually considered pretty high. |
