(27,670 posts)I would sincerely appreciate it if you would enlighten me by posting the proof here.
Reagan won in a landslide, and the only significant Third party challenger was John Anderson, who was a republican running as an Independent, and it's for damn sure that no liberal Democrat voted for a republican Independent. The fact is, conservative Democrats abandoned the Democratic party and Jimmy Carter, and voted for republican presidential candidate Ronald Reagan, fucking up the world forever in the process. I campaigned for Carter and against Reagan.
Liberal Democrats were scared to death of Reagan's fascism and were Jimmy Carter's base. I was one of them.
