Guess What Religious Holiday Democrats Forgot to Recognize

Yesterday was Ash Wednesday, the start of the holy season of Lent for most Christians. The season culminates on Easter Sunday, when Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. You probably saw your Catholic friends and colleagues walking around with black ashes on their foreheads yesterday, and the next forty days are meant to be a time of prayer, fasting, and sacrifice.
But if you're the Democratic Party, Ash Wednesday didn't even warrant a mention, but both Ramadan and the Lunar New Year did.
Weird, because just the other day, Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico was talking about how Jesus will judge us on whether or not we enact the Democrats' socialist agenda, because the Bible "doesn't say anything" about abortion and gay marriage. You'd think a party suddenly invoking Jesus would at least acknowledge Ash Wednesday.
