Summary
Democrats must reclaim their identity as the party of the working class to regain electoral strength.
Despite pro-labor policies under Biden, working-class voters feel disconnected, seeing Democrats as defenders of a failing system.
The party’s decline traces back to NAFTA and neoliberal economic policies that favored corporations over workers.
A generational effort to prioritize labor rights, fair wages, and economic security while addressing working-class frustrations are needed.
Without serious reform, Democrats will continue losing ground to populist alternatives.
You guys need a new party, one that is actually left
Our system makes 3rd parties nonviable. But at this point, even that seems potentially more successful than Dems just continually sliding “center” (AKA right).
We gotta organize and do what Maga threatened to do to the right. Maga threatened to split the right which dragged the whole republican party further right. Let’s do the same with the democrats. Force the party more progressive.
You got it. At some point you’ll have to bite the bullet unless you want MAGA forever.
Two parties, too big corporate parties, too big to fail, even when that’s all they do.
