>"What would George Washington say about electric cars?"

That kind of silly comparison doesn't make any sense, and it's only a maneuver to skip any serious discussion when one is trapped without arguments.

But if you ask how should the Republic operate, what kind of values and vision its public building should represent, then the opinion of the Founders is definitely very relevant.

They can express their opinion in the voting booth, then.

I doubt either parties remotely represent any of the Founders ideas.
