Be a decent person.
No racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, zionism/nazism, and so on.

Well they're not leftists, so it tracks
They were at the time I assume…
Racism is not a left or right issue is all I’m saying.
The Democrats were anti-capitalist in 1870?
Was anyone? What is the the question or is it rhetorical I need to look it up actually myself I’m not some expert on kkk or post bellum civil war politics myself but I’m interested in it was just commenting
It's rhetorical, I'm trying to say at no point have the Dems ever been leftists. They are a more socially progressive right wing party.
Ok fine lol … except Biden, he was fdr 2.0…. right? 👀
No.
And No for FDR.
/s right? I hope so, seeing you all stroke off biden and obama is dispiriting. They failed. We need a new deal, not more whatever the fuck biden was.
Yes, there were literally communists who fled Germany during 1848 and would join the union army.
Enough that a former revolutionary, Franz Sigle, was promoted to general, because German immigrants who'd also fled in 1848 looked up to the guy and were willing to join to serve under the guy.
Uh, yes? Maybe not a major US party, but yes of course.
No major party in the US has ever been leftist, and the historical Democrats being discussed here (the racist segregationists who invented the KKK) were the opposite of leftist.
You assume wrong. And it definitely is. You complete lack of knowledge of everything which you so confidently claim is quite impressive.
