Their party exists LadyJean. Its called the Democratic Party. Their isn't a ton of difference between Obama and Eisenhower on most issues. It is the Progressives whose Party went away.

But even that is not the whole story. The Democrats are an alliance of everyone who wants to preserve the Mightiest and best country in the world which emerged and grew from the ashes of WWII. Fighting against those who want to send us back to the 1890's dominated by robber barons and a roller coaster economy.
