Pokusavam se sjetiti neke analogije sa dva voza na zeljeznickoj stanici. I reference putnika u vozu koji stoji (Dems) u odnosu na onog koji krece (Reps). Pa se ovom putniku cini da u stvari njegov voz krece.....ali mislim da mi nesto ne stima u analogiji.
U vezi intervencionizma, koja stranka je bila za ulazak u WWII, a koja protiv?
Ko je bio na vlasti kad su Ameri odlucili uletiti u rat u Vijetnamu?
Koja stranka je bila za, a koja protiv, intervencije na Balkanu?
Mislim ono, da ne bude neke zablude da su Demokrati partija mira. Upravo suprotno, Republikanci su uglavnom bili kontra intervencionizma. Neki zlobnik bi mozda rekao da su neocons u stvari bili soft Demokrate.
Sto se tice social justice, da ne ulazimo u period od 1960ih i prije.
Bilo mi dosadno pa ukucah u gugl:
"did democratic party move to the left or to the right since the 1990s"
I dobih rezultat zle AI:
Since the 1990s, the Democratic Party has moved significantly to the left. The party's shift can be seen in both its policy positions and the ideological makeup of its voters, which has become more consistently liberal over time. This is a contrast to the 1990s, which were defined by the centrist "Third Way" politics of the Bill Clinton administration.
Leftward shift on key issues
Changes in the Democratic platform since the 1990s reflect a leftward movement on several major policy issues:
Immigration: The party's stance has moved away from the emphasis on border enforcement prevalent in the 1990s. Today's Democrats are largely unified in the view that immigrants are an asset, and the focus of reform has shifted toward humanitarian concerns.
Crime and justice: In the 1990s, Bill Clinton signed a major crime bill that increased incarceration and supported the death penalty. Today's Democratic platform, including candidates like Joe Biden, has embraced reforms aimed at ending mass incarceration and abolishing the death penalty.
Economic policy: The Clinton era was marked by a shift toward market-based policies and a balanced budget. Under President Biden, Democrats have taken a sharp U-turn, advocating for policies to address inequality and promote workers' interests.
Healthcare: The party has moved toward greater government involvement in healthcare. For example, President Biden's policies were influenced by the progressive wing of the party, leading to more government-led initiatives.
Social issues: In the 1990s, social issues like gay marriage were not mainstream in American politics. The Democratic Party has since become much more liberal on social issues, with a decided left-leaning perspective on issues such as LGBTQ+ rights, gun control, and abortion access.
Shift among Democratic voters
The ideological shift is not limited to party leaders; it is also reflected in the party's base:
In the mid-1990s, liberals and conservatives within the Democratic party were evenly split at 25% each, with the plurality identifying as moderate.
By 2022, liberals became a majority, with 54% of Democrats identifying as such, while only 10% identified as conservative.
This shift is also driven by changing demographics within the party, including a growing share of college-educated and non-white voters, who have moved leftward on issues over time.
Da ne bude da sam nefer, probao sam staviti i 1960s i dobio slican rezultat.
Stavio sam onda 2000s i umjesto "significantly" samo pise "moved to the left".
Ono, nije da ce mi AI formirati misljenje i ne znam bas kakva im je metodologija, ali eto drago mi je da potvrdjuju ono sto sam mislio.
Ovo je uostalom vjerovatno pokupljeno iz gomile clanaka pa kom se da nek se zada u dublje istrazivanje.
EDIT: Ovdje bi se cak mogla povuci prica i tome koja stranka je u stvari bila liberalna stranka sve do 60-ih, ali dobro da ne idemo u amebe.
