New Departures and a Mock New Departure
A Washington Patriot critique ridicules Senator Wilson’s and Morton’s so called new departures for the Democratic party. It flags Wilson’s education and unification scheme as an anti Darwinian restraint and Morton’s pension and suffrage proposals as recycled by past campaigns. The piece labels the idea as threadbare and mocks its political efficacy.
