The Democrat Party died circa 2008.
Today we have the Democratic Socialists Party. And SO MANY still think voting “D” means JFK....
Maybe that's when it completely died, but the fatal disease was introduced about 10 years earlier, when they discovered that they could indeed get away with anything they wanted, as long as they stick together, and that the media was enough in control to run interference for them.
From that point on, they've lost all semblance of self-restraint.
