      That’s ridiculously untrue. You’re looking at two examples.

      How about Civil Rights, the New Deal, Women’s suffrage, Pure food and drug act, the Meat Inspection act, Social Security, Medicare, the Sherman Act, Glass-Steagall Act, minimum wage laws, workers compensation laws, and on and on and on.

          Yes because the American public shifted to the right post Reagan, in reaction to the Cold War and stagflation. Dems reacted by shifting to the median voter, to neoliberalism, especially because the left keeps listening to bad advice and staying home instead of voting.
