It's weird in the first place given that Jefferson was never a Democrat


I know that in the past the D's have attempted to claim Jefferson as their "founder" and it's been a bit of a point of contention, but at this point with where the Democratic party is, not only is that claim hard to make in terms of the D-R party really being the anti-Federalist party more than anything else, but I don't even think the intellectual center of the party even wants an association with Jefferson anymore. Mayor Pete is trying to thread a needle here IMO -- don't want to make the wrong headline, but those not running for office I don't think would be quite so ambiguous.

At least Jackson was actually a Democrat.
