The Democrats used to be the racist pro slavery party. Then it got captured and turned into Roosevelts New Deal Democrats, which were obviously to the left of the Republicans. Not perfect, but they really did a lot of good.
Honestly, the worst of it all started with Clinton. He was the first of the corpo Democrats, and was a response to 12 year of Reagan and Bush telling the world that Greed was good.
The 60s and 70s were full of Democrats who were on the side of the people, and not the corporations.
Sadly we need to rebuild the community driven fundraising that Democrats used to rely on, while also weaning off the corporate teat.

This can be repeated, but it takes a lot of work.
