Navigating the Democratic Divide

This chapter analyzes the complexities of the anti-Trump coalition within the Democratic Party, highlighting the ideological divides among mainline liberals, anti-establishment left, reactionary centrists, and the anti-Trump center. It discusses the challenges of cross-coalition unity, the influence of media narratives, and the decline in voter support from the 2020 to 2024 elections. Through case studies and critiques of messaging strategies, the chapter emphasizes the need for liberals to assert their views more effectively to combat mischaracterizations and better represent their constituents.
