At the California Democrats' convention, Governor Tim Walz and Senator Cory Booker addressed the party's electoral failures and the need to reconnect with working-class voters. They acknowledged the impact of progressive policies on the party's losses and emphasized the necessity for bold policy initiatives. Activists are debating how to maintain their values while appealing to traditional constituencies that are essential for future victories, particularly after losing support among minorities and the working class in previous elections.
We got to be honest in what happened, because losing elections has consequences... None of us can afford to shy away from having hard conversations about what it's going to take to win elections.
The Democratic Party, the party of the working class, lost a big chunk of the working class.
Democrats don't need to retreat from their ideals, but they need to show voters that they are capable of bold policy that will improve voters' lives.
That last election was a primal scream on so many fronts: do something, do something bold.
