Episode notes
INSIGHT

Democrats' Identity Crisis

  • The Democratic Party has been defined by opposition to Trump, not by its own principles, for nearly a decade.
  • This has left the party in turmoil with no clear leadership or identity today.
ADVICE

Focus on Economic Populism

  • Democrats must define Trump and Republicans by their impact on the middle class, not abstract targets.
  • Develop a clear agenda focused on economic populism appealing to non-college-educated Americans.

  • Winning midterms is only incremental; true success rests on nominating winning presidential candidates.
  • Being out of power details Democrats as the "half party" compared to the party in the White House.
