That's a very interesting observation. It's certainly not what many people would expect of voters' concerns.
ReplyDeleteWhat issues and goals did he see in the trends? Are they possibly parallel to the "13 American Arguments" that Howard Fineman discusses in his book of political commentary? I feel like even as issues change as we move forward in time, they are all rooted in the same core arguments and American goals.
ReplyDeleteThat's a very interesting interpretation, I assume he's referring to certain Constitutional rights being infringed upon, or the strive for equality.
