In my youth, this was the theme song of the Democratic Party

[Glorfindel]

I think it's time to reinstate it. If our parents and grandparents could proudly sing it during the depression and World War II, we can surely do the same when things are looking up!

And by the way, HOORAY! We retained control of the Senate!

1. Love this song!!

2. I always sing this to my 93 year old Dad (who has never voted for a republican in his life)

When we win important elections. I did it in 2020 and I will do it again tomorrow when I see him.

3. Bless you...my parents died young

but they knew the importance of voting for Democrats, having survived the Depression and WWII.
A big shout out to your Dad.

4. Perfect choice!

[Hamlette]

5. I loved it too

I asked the olds why we don't sing it anymore and they said it was too tied to the depression. They all lived through the depression and were very active in Democratic politics so maybe so.

6. Ha, For a second I thought you might be offering up a tune from...

The great Tom Lehrer

8. Definitely a better choice than Mitch.

Pre-rock and roll, 20th Century white peoples’ music pretty much sucked. I put Mitch and Lawrence Welk in the same bland basket.

Meanwhile, I put forth this song from my youth, which includes bulleted action items now that we’re on a roll:
