Democrats Search For Platform; Find It In FDR's Basement 2022QQQ
The Democratic Party, sensing electoral weakness in the war-ravaged Republican Party, began an intensive search for a platform that might lead to a rejuvenation of their own habitually unfocused and widely unattractive party.
Apparently, they have finally grown alert to the inadequate support provided by the random planking that has been delivered to them by various political strategists – usually, they now see, not deeply resonating and indubitably ethical ideas, but hardly more than sound bytes based on evanescent hot topics. Now, they long for an entire foursquare platform but, so far as is detectable, have yet to arrive at one.
Desperate to grasp the new grail, a leading member of the party found himself inspired to make a pilgrimage to the home of the legendary Democrat, FDR, in Hyde Park, New York, there the better to meditate toward a new vision.
While strolling the grounds, he happened to notice a bent and weathered gardener, who was intently spading in a flower patch and engaged him in a conversation, which turned to how long the aged son of the sun had been employed at the estate.
The gardener, affable in the suspect way many oldsters are, confided that he had been tending the tulips and other resplendent blooms for so many years he actually knew FDR. Then, having answered his interrogator, asked, “And, may I ask, what brings you here?”
The wandering wonderer confessed, “I came to find a Democratic platform.”
The wizened gardener suddenly grew much more animated, and effused, “I know where the platform is.”
“You do?” asked the surprised politico.
“Sure do,” the gardener confirmed.
“Mind showing it to me?” the somewhat skeptical Democratic replied.
“My pleasure.”
He led the curious visitor to the basement of the historic home. In a far reach of it, he pointed to a white canvas, which he reverently lifted away to reveal nothing other than a speaker’s platform.
The gardener, placing an affectionate hand on the still polished oak, averred, “I saw FDR himself speak from this platform.”
“Really?” the impressed Democrat replied. “Say, do you mind if I stand on it?”
“Go right ahead,” the gardener replied.
