Famous quotes containing the words democratic, left and/or alliance:

    The idea that you can merchandise candidates for high office like breakfast cereal—that you can gather votes like box tops—is, I think, the ultimate indignity to the democratic process.
    Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)

    When one by one our ties are torn,
    And friend from friend is snatched forlorn;
    When man is left alone to mourn,
    Oh! then how sweet it is to die!
    Anna Letitia (Aikin)

    Racism as a form of skin worship, and as a sickness and a pathological anxiety for America, is so great, until the poor whites—rather than fighting for jobs or education—fight to remain pink and fight to remain white. And therefore they cannot see an alliance with people that they feel to be inherently inferior.
    Jesse Jackson (b. 1941)
