stop and think about it.
empower the other side and there is no this side or that side, just the other side

because while you actually want a democratic candidate to win (according to your own words, not all of everyone who reads you does...many in the outside world, as witness by a different thread point I made elsewhere(or was it here?)
Just because someone doesn't like X, doesn't mean that person likes Y.They may dislike
x and y equal. But they are only referring to one at that particular moment.

But maybe you meant 1977,1978,and the first half of 1979? which would be 35 years not 30.
Those 2 1/2 years were the happiest of any 2 1/2 years in American history for the entire country.
