Trump has changed party affiliation 5 times. What if he decided to take over the Democratic Party instead of the Republican, and actually accomplished that? Would you feel that everyone who had ever been a Democrat was complicit?

Have you met the Democratic PartyтАжтАжtheir raison dтАЩetre is to NOT fall in line. Historically speaking, the R party falls in line, the D party falls in love. IтАЩm not saying it could never happen Linda, but as Will Rogers famously said, тАЬI am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat.тАЭ
They weren't in 2020. They were clear about the threat to the country of a Trump win and united around Biden. Nancy Pelosi was a great Speaker and so is Leader Jeffries. Why should they not unite around the candidate who has the best chance to defeat Trump in 2024?
Who besides Harris has the national reputation to lead a ticket? Half the people floated for her VP I had to look up because their names were vaguely familiar but I couldn't tell you who they really were. Others, as in Leader Jeffries, who have national name recognition are needed where they are now. If the Dems get a House majority Jeffries needs to be there to be the Speaker. I believe he would be an outstanding Speaker and maybe an outstanding POTUS if he wants the job.
I'm not proposing Leader Jeffries run for the nomination. I mentioned him only as an example of where the Dems were NOT the proverbial disorganized party.
I am also not advocating an alternative candidate other than Harris.
I don't believe the orange one would ever try to take over the Democratic party. It's too diverse (realtor years - no renting to Black people!), too much for the common good (bodily autonomy), social net expansion (he wants to trim Soc Sec.). Democrats want to expand the government to serve people Republicans (pRo-lIfE!) want to drown that baby.
It started with nixon, took off like a rocket with reagan. I'm old, I remember. We are softies, they want raw power - looking at you Mitch McConnell. Knowing what we know about his life, the Democratic party wasn't even a stop on his route.
He did try, along with a third party. He saw that the gopers were a bunch of obedient little sheep who will willingly vote against their own best interests and the rest they say is history.

Will Rogers was right. For the Dems, sometimes it's a blessing, sometimes it's a curse. Too many times the Dems have been their own worst enemy.

Sorry. I misunderstood your point.

Great question, Linda.
