A little too much for my taste, since the Democrats are no longer the party of ill-considered idealism and airy-fairy daydreams, which you could have fairly said about the likes of George McGovern, Jimmy Carter, and Walter Mondale. Now they’re the party of principalities and powers, who want abortion up through birth, castration for mixed-up schoolkids, bloody open borders, defunded police and felons empowered to vote, pointless foreign wars, and medical fascism.
