[Peace-discuss] Fwd: NYTimes.com: The Democratic Party Is in Worse Shape Than You Thought

[Szoke, Ron]

A too-plausible diagnosis.  What the data seem to show is that a simple thesis of economic deprivation is (again) wrong.
What we have seen instead is a symptom of class resentment & defiance, esp. of the lowest quintile (20%) by the next higher quintile (20%—40%, the “working class"), who think the “tax & spend” Democrats are taxing them, the lower middle class,  to buy the votes of the lowest 20% with welfare measures.  ~~ Ron

Declining turnout among minority, young and single voters is even more dangerous for Democrats than white flight.
