The party that fought for, established, and protected Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, etc?
The party that didn't just pay lip service to these defenses when the cameras were rolling?
The party that understood that when you we put more money in the hands of the middle and lower classes of our society then more money exchange happens and our economy rebounds.
The party that understood that if the private sector won't create jobs then massive public works improvements are in order.
The party that understood that austerity during a recession/depression removes and slows monetary flow in our society thus exacerbating our troubles.
The party that use to scoff at supply-side "trickle-down" economics.
The party that understood what unfair trade and tariffs looked like and what a job killer they are.
The party that didn't view "protectionism" as a dirty word.


Where did the Democratic Party go?
