It is an attempt to poison a revival of progressivism in the Democratic Party Voltaire2 Sep 2017 #1

No, it's the truth... The Democratic Party changed under LBJ when he passed civil & voting rights MrScorpio Sep 2017 #2

That process of change also included Truman, Humphrey, and Kennedy Jim Lane Sep 2017 #16

Actually, it started to change big under Truman. Blue_true Sep 2017 #35
