Neither mainstream American political party has a compelling message for working-class voters. As a result, voters are starting to vote in line with their cultural opinions, not their class interests. Unfortunately, that’s good news for the Right.
Tomorrow Donald Trump will take the oath of office again. By spurning economic populism and embracing Bush-era Republicans, Democrats helped pave the way for his second inauguration.
Following a proud centrist tradition, Kamala Harris’s campaign promised to build an “opportunity economy” that would grant success to the deserving. The meritocratic pitch was emblematic of Democrats’ long march away from working-class voters.
Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer and Senator Joe Manchin struck a deal to fast-track approval of new gas and oil pipelines as part of a must-pass spending bill. House progressives have the ability to block it — but most won’t say whether they will.
Individual Democrats have made strong statements against the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil. The bulk of the party and its leadership has offered silence or mealymouthed equivocation.
For months, the Democratic Party leadership knew the Supreme Court was preparing to gut Roe v. Wade. When it happened, they sprang into action and immediately did nothing.
Reps. Scott Peters, Kurt Schrader, and Kathleen Rice — Democrats all — give weak, incoherent responses to why they torpedoed a plan to let Medicare negotiate drug prices.
Fossil fuel–backed Democrats want to use unverifiable “certified gas” schemes to undermine one of Joe Biden’s most important climate moves: pausing permits for new liquefied natural gas terminals.
Medicare for All backers won in safe Democratic districts and Trump country alike this year, while its opponents lost in both. Yet centrists are now leading a campaign to blame M4A for the party’s devastating down-ballot losses this year. They’re wrong.
Expanding voting rights without expanding economic rights, as the Democrats are now attempting to do, won’t save American democracy and won’t save the party from collapse.
Two years after forcing Al Franken’s resignation from the Senate over sexual misconduct allegations, prominent Democrats now have to decide whether to stand on principle or keep silent about the latest assault accusations against Joe Biden. We asked them — and so far, most are choosing to keep silent.
Pushing through a $15 minimum wage wouldn’t just be an economic gift to workers — it would be a political gift from the Democrats to themselves. Inaction, on the other hand, would hand a historic favor to the far right. Biden is committing a huge blunder by wavering.
The Democrats’ congressional campaign arm is trying to blacklist the Left. We welcome their hatred.
Joe Biden and his political machine damaged the Democratic Party by delaying his withdrawal. The Democrats can still recover from this crisis — but only if they don’t repeat their past mistakes.
When the Supreme Court’s right-wing justices tried to block Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal programs, he took the court head-on — and won. There's a lesson there today: directly attacking the court's power is the only way to rein it in.
People voted blue in the midterms because they trust the Democratic Party to preserve democracy. From accessibility for disabled voters to protecting the vote-by-mail process, Democrats should step up and prioritize voting rights wherever they can.
The Inflation Reduction Act has been widely touted as a big step on climate. But to pass it, Democrats struck a deal with Joe Manchin to accelerate oil and gas pipeline construction — and no one is discussing how much it might increase emissions.
Rather than focusing on the actual harms Republicans are inflicting on the American working class, Democrats are using the Signal group chat leak to obsess over violations of norms and protocols. This strategy is doomed to fail.
This week, Nancy Pelosi suggested that supporters of a cease-fire in Gaza were foreign government “plants.” But the demand for a cease-fire is wildly popular among Democratic voters — and party leaders are playing a dangerous game by insulting them.
Germany’s Christian Democrat leader Friedrich Merz has broken a long-established “firewall” isolating the far right. A vote on hardening the borders has given Alternative für Deutschland a leg up just ahead of the federal election.
