The theory doesn't hold up to the actual charts.

- ceejayoz 4y agoSo the evidence that a Democratic shift leftwards (in party platforms, not necessarily actual actions) in the 1990s is at fault is the results of a single Presidential election thirty years later?
- JamesBarney 4y agoAccording to the chart we're arguing over the shift didn't happen in the 90s. The democratic party was fairly static between the mid 90s and 2008. But yes a very strong leftward shift over the last 14 years has impacted the last two presidential elections.
