As of January 15, 2015 a PEW Research poll shows that Americans are more concerned over the threat of terrorism. The economy, jobs / education take the number 2 and 3 spots.....

Nothing new, but do your homework, look at the flipping over the past 30 years. I blame voter apathy on my party's part yes. We suck at midterms. But the flipping is actually as sample rates over long periods happens. My only concern is our plutocracy giving the right too much power.

But the corporate monopoly by the GOP and gerrymandering gets their voters in the middle class and working poor to vote against their own self interests.

I think long term that will change. Younger voters are not buying into the divisive bullshit the GOP has succeeded at in the past. And dems have proven we can beat the GOP in a presidential election TWICE. Walmart is now facing the fact they are not paying workers enough, still crumbs, but that says the more the left raises their voices the better shot we have at changing things.

The GOP has succeeded for the past 30 years at controlling the narrative, the cracks are showing but it is up to the right side of history to exploit those cracks.

One thing I think is important to point out to everyone, is that the GOP is starting to mimic the pay gap issue. More right wing politicians are trying to steal the left's line about the "rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer" . That is simply a bait and switch con to justify more tax breaks for the rich the rest of us have to pay for. I am dead serious to any progressive here reading this, if you see this or hear it from a right winger or libertarian, call those fuckers out, because that is smoke and mirrors to justify corporate welfare.

They are not going to mimic the left just to con the public.

There's always been voter apathy because either of the two parties pissed off their voting base, or either party hasn't really done anything to excite enough interest to get people out to the polls. Nobody cares about Corporate Robber Barons or class warfare. That's only an issue the far far left keeps harping about. Right now, ISIS is speaking louder than the left and the threat of terrorism has captured the attention of the voters. Barack Obama is seen as weak and naive in light of this threat and that reflects on the rest of your party. You guys will lose the White House in 2016.
