Yes, I wondered if they saw the irony in the use of that title?

Well, it depends on the perspective.
“[I]t is very clear that in fundamental theory, socialism and democracy are almost, if not quite, one and the same. […] Men as communities are supreme over men as individuals.”

Woodrow Wilson

“We have seen … that the first step in the revolution by the working class is to raise the proletariat to the position of ruling class to win the battle of democracy.” …

Communist Manifesto
So the Democrats have always had a very different notion of the definition of the word that is their name. And frankly, it has proven to be so in practice.

Yep. If they use "democratic" they always leave off the "anti-" part.

The title started the "Frontline" narrator's voice going through my head.
