In the Fifties almost all my relatives were Democrats and the D Party did a lot to help the working people.
An aunt of Mine even was able to use her influence to get my wife and I an apartment.
My Mother in law was an avowed Democrat all her life because they helped her throughout the depression era.
Unfortunately they have become the party of Special Interest groups of ALL kinds and a haven for Socialists , Whackos and communists.
It's really very sad, because they were a proud advocate for the working class people who needed an advocate.
Now they appear in shambles.
Oh yes, I agree. The Democrat Party use to be one of great pride for the working man. Today it is a bad joke.
