The Democratic party never stood for anything. They were forced to do things when threatened electorally by left-wing populists and socialisists. Remember, W.E.B. Duboise got million votes and 6% of the popular vote as a socialist while in prison. Democrat Wilson deported and, prosecuted and persecuted left-wingers and anti war activists. The corporate Dems have helped destroy the New Deal policies in a good cop/bad cop kabuki theater since the beginning. The Dem party has never been anything but a cheap, soulless pliable whore to whichever direction the wind and money are coming from.
"Du Bois." He never ran for President nor was he ever incarcerated---obviously you're confusing him with Eugene Debs. Strange. Put the bottle down and pick up the book.
Like both Malcolm X and MLK said: the only difference between conservatives and lib'rels is they both hate you but the conservatives do it up front and libs welcome you to their house, then stab you in the back when we you leave.
That's back when they stood for working people and good government.

I think you might mean Eugene Debs, who was in prison and received that large number of votes.

Don't hold back, now. Nice!
It's also back before conservatives in the Democratic Party got fed up and left it in droves.
