Has the democratic party changed?

[Don't Taze me, bro]

It is all to clear that the democratic party / democrats, haven't changed at all. The democratic party is in a very real civil war, yet instead of debating the issues, they, as usual, resort back to the same lame Bush bashing to deflect the light off them. Am I the only one who has noticed this???

Even though you answered your own question no, I would say yes. It use to be very clearly a coalition centered on the economic interests of the working class. In the last several decades cultural issues have become the defining difference between the parties, and as culturally Conservative working class voters have moved to the Republican party, culturally liberal upper middle class and rich voters have become Democrats. The primaries in both parties divided their constituencies along class lines, but the rules in the Republican party ended the contest while the Democrats are dragging it on.

Yes, Dems change when they realize their mistakes.
They do not usually "stay the course" with failed policies.

Sometimes they do.
