The best version of the Democratic Party is a party that taxes the public to fund an efficient, simple, robust safety net, and that can build public infrastructure fast. The worst version of the Democratic Party is economic slop about 'nobody should pay taxes but millionaires', and also grinds economic activity to a halt with a million regulations on everything. The first actually believes in the power of the state to do good. It thinks the system is worth funding and defending. It believes in the fairness of a safety net but also in the power of economic growth and dynamism. The second is cynical crap that just wants to identify heroes and villains and hysterically strike out at whoever is 'bad'. Rich people bad, only they should pay taxes. Big Companies bad, they shouldn't be allowed to do anything. It has no actual vision of the good.
