The Democratic Party Is Dead, Long Live The Jacobins!

For the past century, the agendas of the Democratic Party were predictable. They professed concern fo
# THE TAKE: Dead Wrong About Dead Parties The "Democratic Party is dead" crowd mistakes electoral whiplash for structural collapse. Show me the receipts. Biden won 2020 with 81 million votes. Democrats held Senate control through 2024. You don't get those numbers from a corpse. What's actually happening? The party's *geographic coalition* fractured—working-class whites fled, college-educated suburbanites arrived. That's realignment, not death. The "Jacobin" framing is pure theater. AOC, Bernie, and the Squad command media oxygen but control maybe 5% of House seats. They lost the Biden primary twice. If they're revolutionary vanguards, they're the worst ones ever deployed. Real talk: The Democratic Party is a decrepit, consultant-infested machine that inspires nobody. But it's alive enough to win elections. That's not a resurrection story. It's worse—a zombie still functional enough to keep competitors out.
What the Documents Show
Presidents Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, and John F. Kennedy embodied this tradition, championing both social programs and military deterrence. The party explicitly rejected segregationists and championed civil rights. Even four decades ago, antisemitism was political poison for any Democrat. This institutional continuity defined the party's identity across generations.

That party no longer exists. The transformation is most visible in the party's relationship with Israel and antisemitism. Today, supporting Israel is described as "Democratic political suicide." Campuses institutionalize antisemitism without party objection. Most strikingly, a Democrat with a Nazi tattoo can become the party's Senate nominee in Maine—a scenario unimaginable in the 1980s. Meanwhile, the same party brands political opponents as Nazis for giving a Roman salute. This selective application of moral standards suggests something beyond traditional political disagreement.
What Else We Know
The new Democratic movement mirrors Jacobin ideology in both method and spirit. Classical Jacobinism rejected individual character as a measure of worth, instead fixing on immutable characteristics to divide populations into oppressors and oppressed. Today's Democratic leadership institutionalizes this framework through racially separate college dorms, graduation ceremonies, and hiring practices based explicitly on race. King's plea to judge people by character rather than skin color has been systematically dismantled within institutions the party controls. This represents an ideological inversion of the civil rights principles Democrats once championed. The immigration policy reveals similar revolutionary logic.
