Dear Democratic Party: We Want You Back

[William769]

To the Democratic Party of the United States of America:

You don’t really know me, but you knew my father. On the strength of that relationship, I hope you won’t mind me writing to you.

You should know, my father always spoke fondly of you, and he didn’t do that with just anyone. He was a hard-working man, and didn’t always have time for the niceties of life, but he felt like the two of you had a mutual understanding. He felt like you were there for him, so he needed to be there for you. He spoke fondly of you even after the two of you had a falling-out, though his words were often filled with nostalgia. I think he missed you, and he longed for the relationship that you had had when he was a younger man.

I don’t really know when that falling-out occurred; I was very young. I do know that my father felt like you betrayed him, just a little. He felt like you initiated the break-up. He felt like you gave in to your nemesis, Republican Party, and you left him just so you could court some of the same people that Republican Party liked to visit. He felt like you were forgetting the people that made you powerful, and instead took to waiting around for any scraps that fell off the table when Republican Party and Big Business dined together.
