Democratic Decisions   

Six months ago, Joe Biden led the Democratic Party. One month ago, Kamala Harris led the party. Now? I can’t see who is running this party. Three weeks ago, a red wave washed away the conventional wisdom about the blue party. But there is something happening now, a fight brewing. There are three distinct camps that are wrestling over control of the Democratic Party, over the future. Each camp believes their strategy will pave the way to victory. This fight will be determined over the next few months.

Socialist/Far Left

Their Pitch:

How could the far left possibly win after the red reckoning we just witnessed? Their belief is that as the opposite of MAGA, their left-wing agenda could win back the hearts and minds the party lost to Donald Trump.

Their Voices:

“It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.” —Bernie Sanders

“At the end of the day, the ultimate problem is our ability to clearly and forthrightly advocate for an agenda that clearly champions the working class.” —Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC)

“Leaders in Congress like the Squad have shown us another way of doing politics is possible and represent the promise of uniting our fractured nation and represent the promise of uniting our fractured nation into a multiracial democracy where everyone thrives and no one is left behind.” —Justice Democrats
