Today's "moderate Democrats" were called Republicans when I was growing up.

A bit quaint by now. Evil white supremacist fascists seems more fitting.

And you voted for them even after you were all grown up.

Now you call them party mates.

Today's "leftists" somehow managed to vote Republican in general elections, too. Funny how that works. When I was growing up, Republican voters were called "republicans".

Because someone or someones moved the goal posts that far to the left. Nice of you to notice though.

No they weren鈥檛. The average democrat of today would not have been a republican in the 50s and 60s.

They approve every military spending bill that comes to the floor so I would say they are closer to past neocons.

As I just said. Better a Republican than a Blue Dog Democrat. Because you can count on the Republican screwing you.

When I was growing up they were called Americans. And so were all the other political sub-affiliations. Even my immigrant parents and their Ohio born brown kids... #American. #ReturnToLove @marwilliamson ... and I say that sincerely and as a fan.

And nutty right-wing ones, at that.
