They were not just as wrong, they loved their country, that’s a really big difference. Even George McGovern, for all his faults, loved the United States and flew B-24s during the Second World War.
Scoop Jackson Democrats are ancient history and the party likes it that way. Heck I don’t even think you could find more than a handful of Dems who know who Zell Miller was.
McGovern was a decent guy with way out ideas. His followers were and remain lunatics. They are our rulers.
