My Dear Lady Disdain

Welcome all, especially anyone from Göteborg, Sweden!!!

It’s weird thinking of Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson as fathers of the Democratic party.  I mean obviously as an organization they are, but they’re so ideologically different to the current Democrats.  So who would be the go-to figures for “modern” Deomcrats, I mean, when does it “begin”?  FDR/New deal?  Woodrow Wilson?  William Jennings Bryan/populism?  Can I sneak more “scare quotes” into this post?  Should I have paid attention in high school?  Do I just need to go to bed?
