Summary

Democrats must reclaim their identity as the party of the working class to regain electoral strength.

Despite pro-labor policies under Biden, working-class voters feel disconnected, seeing Democrats as defenders of a failing system.

The party’s decline traces back to NAFTA and neoliberal economic policies that favored corporations over workers.

A generational effort to prioritize labor rights, fair wages, and economic security while addressing working-class frustrations are needed.

Without serious reform, Democrats will continue losing ground to populist alternatives.

      Yeah, move away from the small dollar (grassroots) donors! What a great way to represent the electorate! We’re beyond cooked.

        Everyone knows large-dollar donors always have more popular opinions, and they’re always right, anyway. Otherwise where would they get all those large dollars?
