To blame democracts for ANYTHING that has happened in these years bears a severe burden of proof.

Why would they, when a significant number of their own party contributors appear to be in the same demographic?
This is perhaps a little like your comment re the SW movie series -- the choices for the "common" often seem to be to serve one or another ruling party, neither of which is always distinguishable. In this case I think we're seeing a heavy increase of radicalism in both parties, which leaves moderates alienated. The moderates, however, are the majority. They just haven't figured out what to do with that fact yet.
It doesn't suit the Dems' ends any more than the GOP's to point it out, either.
(Re Clinton -- Michael Moore has said that he was the best Republican president the US had seen in years.)
