Conservatives took over the Democratic party over 30 years ago

The Democratic Party was much more conservative 30 years ago than today.

I don't know why people forget this. Bill Clinton was a straight-up conservative. Do people not remember that?

Nobody remembers that because it is not remotely true. He raised taxes on the rich, legalized gays in the military, tried to implement universal healthcare, etc.

Literally none of that is true. What nonsense.

Aren't you just restating my comment? Yes, progressives regaining relevancy results in a Democratic party that is left of one taken over by conservatives.
