Robert Reich is pitch perfect in his analysis of why the Democratic party failed to engage and win the election this year. This is identical to what AOC, and Bernie Sanders, and others are saying, and I am in full agreement with it. The following video by Professor Reich is very much in alignment with what I stated in my article dated November 17th “Neo-Liberal Democrats Send Wrong Message”. That article also breaks down the who and why of historic Democratic moves to the right, and why Democrats must stop the same strategies that are only beneficial to the rich and corporations we’ve used since the 1990s. Please watch his video, read my article, and add your comments to the discussion. The more in alignment we are about our message and focus, the more influence we can have when the party changes, as it must.

I agree that the Democrats need to focus on the working class. I thought Harris actually did a good job with this. The problem is also mainstream media. Harris had to campaign by an impossibly high standard while they normalized Trump. Unfortunately lies travel faster than the truth. We need to figure out a better way to present the facts in a way voters can understand.
Begin the discussion here. This is a key issue I think everyone should talk about from their own perspective so we get this right for 2026, and beyond.
