comment: The Democratic Party of the early 2000s:
  -Opposed Gay marriage
  -Opposed legal weed
  -Had a decently sized Pro-Life faction
  -Was proudly tough on illegal immigration
  -Would not have tolerated socialists
  -Would not have tolerated advocates of 
  abolishing private health insurance
  -Would not have tolerated advocates of decriminalizing border security
  -Would not have tolerated advocates of defunding the police
  …..I could go on. The Democratic Party has changed a lot over the past 20 yrs. As has the Republican Party.
