Moderate Voices in a Divided Party

This chapter examines the challenges faced by moderate Democrats, particularly through the lens of a Congresswoman dealing with backlash from her party for her centrist views. It highlights the internal conflicts within the Democratic Party, where the rise of progressivism is complicating traditional party dynamics, and discusses the implications of these conflicts on voter sentiments and political strategy. Furthermore, the chapter critiques the notion of an intersectional coalition amidst the tensions over identity politics and the treatment of controversial figures within the party.
