Dennis Brasky says: "The reality is that half of Florida's registered Democrats didn't bother to vote in 2000 and 12% of them - over 200,000 - voted for Bush."
Sometimes the "lesser evil" today prepares the ground for the greater evil tomorrow. Bill Clinton's actions while in government had alienated a section of those who had voted for him, causing some to either abstain from voting or vote for the Republican candidate in 2000. Similarly, Obama won by a big margin in 2008, but a lesser margin in 2012. By 2016 the Democrat candidate, Hillary Clinton, lost to Trump. A section of those who had voted for Obama in 2008 became disillusioned with the Democrats and voted for Trump in 2016. There is a need for an alternative to both of the major bourgeois parties. Otherwise people will swing back and forth between the Democrats and Republicans. Chris Slee -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
