74% Informative

A group of center-left commentators and party operatives have converged on a diagnosis that could be summarized as “the wokes lost it” Julian Zelizer : The solution, many imply or explicitly say, is for Democrats to become more socially conservative and stop opening their arms to “identity politics” Zelizer says.

Julian Zelizer : Evidence that this one issue is what did the Democrats in is impossible to defend.

He says Democrats , like incumbents across the world, lost the trust of voters on the economy, mostly due to inflation.

Zelizer says Democrats need to build a real economic centerpiece for a party that has failed to establish a clear sense of self since Reagan era.
