View submission: Expect More Bulldozings

• "These populists were not progressives, at least not in the juvenile two-dimensional conception of American politics. Beginning with a political argument rather than a moral code, they avoided unpopular positions on energy, immigration, and gender policy."*

So here's the thing - if the Democrats win by abandoning coalition politics, abandoning progressives and their policies, and separating morality from politics, how is that not a hollow victory? For what reason are they even trying to win at that point?

There's already a political party that exists to win at all costs - it's the Republicans. There doesn't need to be another.

And for the record, I am on the side that the 2016 and 2024 elections are an indictment of America. I think American culture is fundamentally broken, and has been for a very long time. The way the populace votes is only one indicator of this - there's plenty of others.
