The modern Democratic Party looks like it's ran by Jim Jones' ghost. Is it?

One can make a comparison of about anything TO anything and it doesn't necessarily MEAN anything. How about we compare THIS conservative party to the conservative party that existed when Jim Jones existed.... even when Reagan existed. One would see little similarity. The Democratic party today isn't any MORE "socialistic" than it has been during the years after WW2, when it was almost always the dominant party ... when America WAS GREAT. When conservatives didn't "outspend" Democrats. :-) Side: Don't drink the kool aid
I agree. The populist wave of Reich wing extremism has caused the Republican party to shift so far to the right that it's now the party of insanity. The same wave has caused the Democratic party to also shift to the right and now the radical right claims that what used to be mainstream democratic is now socialist. If the current dynamic has existed in FDR's era we wouldn't have Social Security now. Democrats who have stood in the same place while politicas has shifted far to the right are now called socialists or communists. Side: It is run by Jones ghost
