Yes almost 200 years ago Republicans were the liberal party and did good things but they have long ago abandoned the cause of people and turned to championing corporations. So Democrats which were formerly conservative saw the light and came to the liberal side ...well not really ....they're into corporations too. It isn't the name of your party that matters it is the parties core beliefs. Today the Third Way is destroying the Democratic party IMO.
