Was Will Rogers wrong?

It has long been my custom to quote Will when he said, "I'm not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat." After seeing the party rally around VP Harris, I think we may have turned a corner.

"Democrats will always find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory". Which I never agreed with. But think that the party has gotten smarter over the years in communicating with the public.

Which frankly didn’t need to happen, but now that it did, we move forward.
