World Trade - World trade is more than ever essential to world peace. World trade raises living standards, widens markets, reduces costs, increases profits, and builds political stability and international economic cooperation. To sell, we must buy. We therefore must resist the temptation to accept remedies that deny American producers and consumers access to world markets and destroy the prosperity of our friends in the non-Communist world. Immigration - In this World Refugee Year it is our hope to achieve admission of our fair share of refugees. We will institute policies to alleviate suffering among the homeless wherever we are able to extend our aid. The Underdeveloped World - To the non-Communist nations of Asia, Africa, and Latin America: We shall create with you working partnerships, based on mutual respect and understanding. The Communist World - We recognize this contest as one between two radically different approaches to the meaning of life—our open society which places its highest value upon individual dignity, and your closed society in which the rights of men are sacrificed to the state. We believe your Communist ideology to be sterile, unsound, and doomed to failure. Economic Growth - The new Democratic Administration will confidently proceed to unshackle American enterprise and to free American labor, industrial leadership, and capital, to create an abundance that will outstrip any other system. Free competitive enterprise is the most creative and productive form of economic order that the world has seen.

An End to Tight Money - A new Democratic Administration will reject this philosophy of economic slowdown. We are committed to maximum employment, at decent wages and with fair profits, in a far more productive, expanding economy. Full Employment - The Democratic Party reaffirms its support of full employment as a paramount objective of national policy. Small Business - "The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home and abroad." The new Democratic Administration will act to make our free economy really free—free from the oppression of monopolistic power, and free from the suffocating impact of high interest rates. We will help create an economy in which small businesses can take root, grow, and flourish. Housing - "The right of every family to a decent home." Today our rate of home building is less than that of ten years ago. A healthy, expanding economy will enable us to build two million homes a year, in wholesome neighborhoods, for people of all incomes. At this rate, within a single decade we can clear away our slums and assure every American family a decent place to live. A Program for the Aging - The Democratic Administration will end the neglect of our older citizens. In this spirit, we hereby rededicate ourselves to the continuing service of the Rights of Man-everywhere in America and everywhere else on God's earth.

Real Democrats started fleeing the Party in the 1970s.

I knew Jack Kennedy's Party. This ain't no party of Truman, JFK, and Humphrey.

I remember Harry Truman, Henry "Scoop" Jackson, and many other real Americans of the early-to-mid 20th Century liberal persuasion --

I knew the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party was a friend of America. The Demobrat Party is no friend of America.

The Democratic Party was kidnapped in the 1970s and today it is owned by aged 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus psycho spoiled brats and their bratty ideological issue.
