The Capitol Times needs Feature Writers and Reporters Stop in W 129 for details Democrat future is topic at Election Forum (continued from pg. 1) Democratic convention was the black community. "Constituency groups must practice together with other constituency groups in coalition politics," said Bresler, "The lack of interaction between the union, feminist and black leaders contributed to the downfall of the Democratic Party." Ignoring the South was the fourth mistake Bresler listed. "The Democratic Party may not win a national election without the South, Bresler said. He cited other presidents such as Jimmy Carter, John Ken nedy, Lyndon Johnson, Harry Truman and Franklin Roosevelt who won the South and the presidency. But it was Mondale's inabili ty to challenge the President's promise of low taxes that was his last mistake, Bresler said. Nobody wanted Mondale's proposal, which Bresler labled "quite reactionary." Bresler went on to say that the gap between the white and black votes increased by 13 percentage points from 1980 to 1984, indicating a larger pro portion of whites and a smaller percentage of blacks voting for Reagan. Bresler also said that we are in the middle of,,an economic experiment advocating the use of supply-side economics. Monetary restraint, reducing tax rates and encouraging sav ings will all help to close the budget deficit by 1988, he claimed. Reagan Mandate? Dr. Young, also commenting on the presidential race, said the election represented a man date for Reagan but added, "I think this is not a realignment election." Although a Republican won, the Democrats hold a seven-to four registration edge, and there is evidence of a growing number of independents, he explained. "There is an historical op portunity for a third party to emerge," Young stated. "The Democrats are too far to the left and the Republicans are too far to the right." This im balance, he noted, presents an opportune moment for a cen tralist party to emerge. Young said incumbents generally have an easy chance of getting re-elected in times of peace and prosperity. He said the Republicans were much bet ter managed and organized.
