The Collapse of the Dems Continues

Progressives Learned Nothing in the Elections of 2010

by John Walsh / November 4th, 2010

There are four things to recognize about the Democrats’ well-deserved drubbing on Tuesday. First, the real news of the election was writ in the primaries weeks before. The voting there showed that the defeat of 2010 is part of a continuing and unremitting Democratic Party descent over decades. As I wrote two weeks before the election:
Since 1970, the turnout in Democratic primaries has been dropping inexorably as the Democrats piled betrayal upon betrayal. And this year, according to data compiled by American University, the “average percentage of eligible citizens who voted in Democratic primaries was the lowest ever.. … Democratic turnout was 8.3 percent of the eligible electorate, lower than the 8.7 percent of the electorate who voted during this period in 2006 and continuing [an] almost linear descent in Democratic primary turnout since 20.7 percent voted in the party’s primaries in 1966.” Why? It is a simple reflection of reality. In his 2008 campaign, Ralph Nader patiently and exhaustively documented how the Democrats have become more and more like the Republicans with each passing year, and so it is not strange that the response of the electorate to both parties has ranged from disinterest to disdain.
And so the plunge continues. Every year fewer and fewer people participate in the Dem primaries. (Snip)
