"Today’s Democratic Party embraces the extreme, rewards the radical, shuns the sensible, and caters to the contemptible."

It is difficult to find an area of growth for Democrats today.
Long gone is the Democratic Party of your parents’ generation. They have morphed and contorted themselves into a political party no longer relatable or recognizable to most of America.
Today’s Democratic Party embraces the extreme, rewards the radical, shuns the sensible, and caters to the contemptible.
Not too long ago there were Democrats who were concerned about the finances of the country. They were affectionately referred to as "Blue Dog Democrats" who were worried about deficits and debt. There is no place for them in today’s Democratic Party. President Joe Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris just introduce the largest budget ever with the largest tax increase ever requested. There very few "Blue Dogs" in Congress, and they are on their way to extinction.
Leftist policies have become so extreme, even traditional liberals no longer recognize today’s Democratic party. With never ending mask mandates, mandatory vaccinations, and control of individual self-determination, liberalism has been abandoned.
In the case of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) they have altered their liberal approach to free speech for everyone, no matter what they say. Now the ACLU that first considers if it is an assistance to the progressives. They even went so far as to justify mask mandates, stating, "Far from compromising civil liberties, vaccine mandates actually further them." Really?

My parents never supported or voted for a democratic.

There were some good ones and now they are anti-American communists.
The Politburo of the American Left.

The ACLU has never been about protecting our freedom. Its goal has always been to break our society’s culture and social norms.
They are now! Domestic enemies of the Republic!
My mom thought Roosevelt was still President when she voted for Obama.
My parents never voted Dim either. My father passed away decades ago and I made sure he didn’t become a Dim voter after death. Alabama puts the registered voter lists online specifically so family members can turn in death certificates to insure against cemetery voting.
“..There were some good ones and now they are anti-American communists....”
The RATs managed to keep it well-hid for a long, long time.
Trump ripped that mask off, and America got to see what they, and their counterpart UniParty hacks in the GOPe, really were: domestic, full-blown communists....no other way to describe em. They’re AINOs: American In Name Only.
Colluding plandemic Meisters.
Now it’s your kid’s communist party.
Sadly the Republican party for the most part is also dead.
Norman Thomas, the six-time Socialist Party candidate for U.S. President, said the following in a 1944 speech: “The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism,’ they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened…. I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democratic Party has adopted our platform.”

The letter after the name means jack anymore.
The only reason political parties still exist is to give voters the illusion of choice.
A pol is either loyal to our former republic or to Deep State.
Most pols are Deep State’s.
Very well said, Mr. Maher. Today’s “democrat” party is nothing more than Commie USA for ill-educated low IQ voters.
But your parents GOP is still pulling the same wool over the eyes of the gullible.
+100!! No but they did all go in lock step with each other. There was division in the Rats and there is division in the GOP along what you stated.
“My parents never supported or voted for a democratic.”
Neither did mine.
Every parent that I know of from the generation of people born before WWII supported this party of party-first and normalizing all that the democrat party demands. That includes hating republicans to the point of bigotry, ignoring the evil of legalized, state-sanctioned abortion and making excuses for all the propaganda and corruption including denying that Lincoln was a Republican as were most of the civil rights lawmakers while democrats were the party of racism and still are.
The children of the parents continue to despise republicans, conservative media, Trump and any decent person trying to MAGA. They practice bigotry. Some of them as Catholic as can be yet loyal to their parents’ democrat party loyalty as the day the were introduced to in and socialized into it.
Oh yes it is the party of these parents. It is going in the direction their peers said it would go, as common sense dictated. As the democrats introduced social security and Medicare
Oh yes it is.
