Julian Zelizer : Kamala Harris made historic attempts to reach out to moderates and conservatives.

He says the left has come to dominate the sense-making institutions of America : pop culture, journalism and academia.

But lower- and middle-class Americans have to become at least a little bilingual, Zelizer says.

The left may have moved beyond the description of “fiery but mostly peaceful” riots in 2020 , he says.

Julian Zelizer : The left's problem is particularly acute when it comes to electoral politics because it's tinged with anti-Americanism .

Zelizer says the left has exhausted its credibility with the American people.

He says the association of radical, anti-America views with the left is deeper than moderate Democrats want to admit.

He hopes to see a principled, positive, pro-American candidate from the Democrats in 2028 .
