That's clearly not true. Tons of us are Democrats who hold to the more traditional ideals the party used to stand for. We don't like wackos like AOC and Bernie (technically not a Democrat) redefining the party. It's not like my voting in Mass. has any effect anyway (we *always* go to the democrats) but it would be nice to at least think that there's an organized group that has my back. There isn't now.

@joe438 Well, aside from McGovern's anti war beliefs, I think he'd be too "conservative " today. Humphrey definitely would. JFK too.

@SheikYerbouti I think all the classic JFK democrats would be tarred with a conservative stick. That's very true.

@beckyromero Even if Humphrey was against it, his views on other issues would be deemed too conservative.

There is definitely a schism in the Democratic party now.

Just like anyone who doesn't agree with Trump and his crazy government is labeled a leftist, a communist and definitely not a patriot by the Republitards who kiss the ground Trump walks on.

Exactly.

Bernie is just the new Eugene McCarthy and wants to siphon votes.

Politics. Ugh...

There's a difference between being center-right like Clinton and being even farther right like a Republican. Democrats today could have been moderate Republicans fifty years ago. The whole political system has drifted to the right.

You're saying Democrats of today are like Nixon in 1969?

😂

@ViciDraco .... yes! drifted [b]right [/b]out of our minds!

joe438 · 61-69, M

@ViciDraco To the right? Hardly. We're much further left than we were. The crazies want to pull the Democrats ever further left.
