Why is The USA shifting leftward

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Because Wall Street era & Dot Com era has come to an end, as well as fossil fuels. That green evolution that Gore talked about since 2000, that the country ignored, and recessions of 2001 & 2008 proved to be so. That drift has caused the collapse of the religious right and rise of New Progressive movement, that Dems are in office now for.

Most Labor jobs provide lesser money to live off where high school graduates were able to provide for their family, now have been reduced to minimum wage jobs. That's where higher education comes in at & making real estate as the most important job readiness training skill that one can have. Even lawyers have switched from debt consolidation & suing to more marketble real estate training.  

And the middle class is being squeezed by higher mortgage tax rates. As voters are looking towards Dems instead of GOP, where the wealthy just want to repeal estates tax, that John McCain, George Vonovich & Chafee voted against in 2001.

As there is a cultural divide between blue collar whites, in Appalachia who are gun owners & union labors in North, who are minorities and gun control. Where Clinton may not win a single southern state. But, still win due to Iowa & Colorado.

NAFTA allowed them to hold onto states that Dubya won in 2000 & 2004, with Prez Fox. Mexicans have shifted to left in NM, CO & NV, all states Dubya carried over Kerry. In 2008, immigration reform shifted these states. Latinos keep getting stronger in SEIU unions as well, thus minimum wage is also a concern too for Blacks as well.

Nafta, trade with Vicinte Foxx. propel Dubya to support immigration reform which was blocked in House by Mark Kirk, who is up for reelection in the Senate. Dubya just like his dad supported trade with Mexico.

It all depends on 2018, if Dems buck the trend and make significant gains for Govs, whie Im not betting on a Dem House, but if Senate stays neutral, 2018, losing ND & IN and winning NV, it will make 2020 an even more promising year to start a long term Dem majority. Barring a recession and Dems make endroads in IL, WI, FL, ME & NM.

Rauner wants constitutional term limits on state assembly, thats why he doesnt want to compromise on Budget. Redistrict Mike Madigan out by 2022. HOGAN, its a different matter, due to nonpartisan nature the way Ehlrich governed.

It all depends on 2016, & how big the wave is & how Dems chose to govern, partnership or partisanship like Boehner did, and how 2018 will turn out.

I find it hard to believe that Sandoval & Capito will run. GEORGE P BUSH v Joe Kennedy III would be a better election in 2024.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Because of two issues: 2008 and immigration. 2008 will probably be the most dramatic shift of economy in our lifetimes, in which fossil fuels have gave way to Solar energy. As AL Gore correctly predicted. As Americans have left newspaper jobs tp go to service jobs. By now, most have adjusted to. Unlikely to repeat under a Dem president and it happened under Bush W. Immigrants, as more children of immigrants get adjusted like regular citizens, their conservative past will leave them like most Mexicans

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Because the economic conditions that created huge surpluses for Tax Cuts 1960, 80 and 2001 isn't there anymore.

GOP is in a drought politically since the Crash of Wallstreet and Dems will continue to win

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

But Teddy Kennedy who should of been prez wouldn't have in 1980.
