Judis and Teixeira end their important study by noting that a Democratic Party that is liberal on economics and “moderate and conciliatory” on cultural issues would be broadly successful. They are not advocating an abandonment of liberal values or a split-the-difference moderation but a return to commonsense views held by the party as recently as a decade ago.
Backing Hillary “You need both a public and a private position” Clinton and Joe “nothing will fundamentally change” Biden were both mistakes.
I hope the lesson will be learned before the '28 run.
