At the elite level, yes, Democrats were loaded with commies, but not at the street level. The elites went to a lot of trouble to hide their allegiances, too, which is why they went nuts over the House Un-American Committee, and Senator McCarthy. They had to, because the average Democrat voter would have dropped them like six month old milk.
Even though the elite level of the Democrat party was riddled with commies, you still had politicians like JFK and Truman who were not commies.
