just because Jefferson opposed the direct election of senators doesn't mean that he wasn't egalitarian ……………………………………………………………………………………..he was not supporting an unequal system…………….…………………………………………………………………………...Jefferson was in favor of state's right's that are associated with conservatives and personal rights associated with liberal leaning democrats but both ideas are associated with libertarianism ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..this was filmed long before most people ever heard of libertarianism
I’m torn. On one hand, your calling a founding fucking father a radical. On the other, it’s important for America not to canonize the founding fathers like saints. They were humans with flaws like anyone else.
Jefferson is the founder of the Democratic party! His loyalty was to the plain folk to the working class to the many not the few. So of course his policies are different than the Democratic of today as policies are constantly changing on both sides but if he was alive today his principal I believe would still be to the plane folk the working class so I think he would be a independent style politician that caucuses with the Democratic party.
@@jonathanharvey1451 Yes that's true, but the Democratic party traces it's roots to Jefferson Republican party or Democratic Republican. Also the Democratic Republican party was the progressive party and the federalist were the conservative party. So instead of writing all that and more I just wrote the founder of the democratic party I guess I should have wrote that Jefferson's Democratic Republican party was the precursor to the modern democratic party.
