But seriously, I freaking wish Democrats were the radical leftist/socialists/liberals that Republicans portray them as. It's nice, watching right wing commentators fearmonger about the far left policies that will be enacted by the radical communist/socialist, Joe Biden. I see this and I'm like "Damn, dont threaten me with a good time".

Funny thing, it used to be. Back during the civil war, the republicans were the liberals and the democrats were the party of the south. In the early 20th century, conservative did a coup on the Republican Party and were successful thus driving the liberals to the Democratic Party. Some might view themselves as successors of Lincoln but they are just usurpers of his legacy.
