CHAPTER

The Democratic Disconnect

This chapter examines the Democratic Party's struggles to connect with its traditional base, particularly the working class, after the 2016 election. It critiques the party's reliance on elite narratives and cultural issues, which often alienate rather than engage minority and working-class voters. The discussion highlights the party's need for deeper class analysis, grassroots organizing, and a reevaluation of its strategies to effectively address the evolving political landscape.
