“the last 6 months offer Democrats valuable lessons.
Voters:
· Respond to fighters (e.g., Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Sen. Corey Booker, Gov. Gavin Newsom, or Gov. J.B. Pritzker) who do not hold back in attacking MAGA extremists.
· Prefer fresher voices expressing righteous anger rather than old fogies acting as if opposition is futile.
· Favor politicians who pledge dramatic change, not more of the same.
· Understand that corrupt billionaires are ripping them off (e.g., taking away healthcare to fund enormous tax cuts).
· Reward plain-spoken messengers regardless of ideology (e.g., Zohran Mamdani or Gov. Andy Beshear of Kentucky).
· Favor a secure social safety net.
· Reject the notion that securing the border & deporting dangerous criminals necessitates a police state that disappears their hardworking neighbors.
· Recoil against power grabs, lawlessness, corruption, cruelty, & corrupt oligarchs, even though abstract appeals to “democracy” leave them cold.”
