What bliss it was to be alive. Ronald Reagan was ignoring the budget deficit, the Marines were booting Communists out of Grenada and the Chicken McNugget was first clasped between the thumb and forefinger of a delighted nation. As the mid-term elections approach, and with them the possibility of the Senate flipping from Democratic to Republican control, keep 1983 in mind. America that year was 77% white, a proportion that has since declined rapidly as a result of births to non-whites and immigration. That number, 77%, is also the share of votes cast by whites in 2010, the most recent mid-term election.____________

a) Demography does not translate neatly into politics.

b) When the presidency is up for grabs, many more Americans bother to vote.

c) Taken together, race and age help to explain why the Democrats face such a struggle in mid-term elections.

d) Racially, mid-term voters lag the changes in the voting-age population by about 20 years and the country as a whole by nearly 30.

I just can't get myself to understand what this passage is trying to say . Please help. :(


no premise markers , no conclusion markers , no contrast
This probably requires an extension of the same .
