The Democrats have abandoned America's construction, warehouse, miners, farmers and ranchers in exchange for illegal aliens, welfare cheats, inner-city out of wedlock women who have large families from men who are parolees and drug dealers.
The Democrats certainly had more to offer platform wise a generation or two ago as opposed to what their disgraceful platform is today.
Odd how the very regions that voted for them a generation or two, don't want much to do with them anymore.
Which has always been the party of separation and division?
Before the 60s they were the southern Dems and KKK members. They WERE the White Supremacists.
Then, with the outcry from the public against lynchings and white cops beating blacks in the streets, they seemingly changed overnight.
Johnson took credit for the 1964 Civil Rights Act, however that was begun by Kennedy who, to the dismay of the party, was absolutely for civil equality.
The Dems could barely muster 2/3rds of their party to pass it. More than 80% of Republicans passed it in both the House and Senate. So, in all honesty, it was passed by a large majority of Republicans.
Fast forward 50 years - now the Dems have gone from being white supremacists to calling all Republicans racists. All their eggs are, have always been, in the basket of division. They NEED the black, Hispanic and women's vote. If they lose even a small percentage of them, the party will be lost.
This is why they have become so hostile to Kanye West, who has clearly escaped the plantation of urban exploitation.
The Dems abandoned "America's construction, warehouse, miners, farmers and ranchers" when Clinton passed NAFTA. They knew what the end result would be when they passed it. I blame both parties for that one.

If this is the case, how is it the Dems always get twice as many donations from the wealthy? Seems to me that would be counterproductive. If Republicans focused on the wealthy, there would be no Billionaires with a D.

Construction workers are alive a well under LIUNA.

Horse Hockey - typical GOP lies and misrepresentation.
Today's Republican party ARE the Democratic party of the 50's and 60's. All the hatred and bigotry you ascribe existed then now belongs to the GOP because that's where the whites of the old Democratic party moved to.
The Democrats you say were opposed to the Civil Rights Act ARE today's Republican party.
Ever hear of the Southern Strategy?
Quote:
In American politics, the Southern strategy refers to a Republican Party electoral strategy to increase political support among white voters in the South by appealing to racism against African Americans.[1][2][3] As the civil rights movement and dismantling of Jim Crow laws in the 1950s and 1960s visibly deepened existing racial tensions in much of the Southern United States, Republican politicians such as presidential candidate Richard Nixon and Senator Barry Goldwater developed strategies that successfully contributed to the political realignment of many white, conservative voters in the South who had traditionally supported the Democratic Party rather than the Republican Party.[4] It also helped to push the Republican Party much more to the right.[4]
