In an interview with CNA, Mark Stricherz, the author of the book “Why the Democrats are Blue: How Secular Liberals Hijacked the People’s Party”, explains how the Democratic Party, once supported heavily by Catholics, has become increasingly secularized since the 1960s.
Stricherz explains how the McGovern Comission drove away Catholics and blue collar voters from the National Democratic Party. While the commission aimed to democratize the party’s nomination system, it ended up becoming highly feminist, activist and secular.
