Democratic Lessons from the Election

The Democrats should recognize the pitfalls of radical left governance and how it alienates the electorate. During the recent election, their attempts to reposition themselves as centrist late in the campaign did not resonate with voters, which suggests that they should remain consistent with their principles. Kevin Roberts argues that to regain trust, Democrats need to either embrace their radical ideology authentically or pivot towards a more center-left position on key issues like abortion and state power. The absence of reflective dialogue within the party, especially excluding moderate voices, only perpetuates their challenges and could benefit conservative reformists looking to reshape policy for the long term.
