Just putting this up to contrast with this post and because Eli Valley is a great political cartoonist.

      Please compare the Democratic Party in 2024 to the following periods of the Democratic Party:

      2012

      2004

      1992

      1980

      1968

      1960

      1952

      Then, subsequently, trace their ‘march to the extreme far right’.

        Yes there was a massive Lurch right in the 90s. Since then the Democrats have waffled extremely hard. Flirting with moving back left slightly but often retracting back to their '90s positions. But there have been a few solid moves to the left in the last 20 years. Nowhere near enough of course. But some is always better than none.
