Thanks for presenting what we all know and feel so clearly. The change on race is particularly well demonstrated and shocking in how radical it truly is. From a party consistently committed to equality since the aftermath of WWII, to a party wishing to import to the States an India/South Africa style cast-based system where public resources are *officially* allotted to groups based on racial hierarchies. Chilling. I do hope the fever breaks soon.

The policy changes have their pros and cons but you could debate how much of it is really a move left versus evolving with society. I think the absolute biggest changes have been rhetorical. Fewer Democrats speak like normal people and pepper their language with university buzz words that, frankly, can be really loaded and alienating for anyone not on the far end of the progressive spectrum. I think that change is much more important to perceptions than any shift left in policy preferences, not that those don't exist.
