Appearances
We are the Sunrise Movement.
We want people to commit to a Green New Deal.
We are an immigration group.
We want to commit to a deportation moratorium.
We are Planned Parenthood.
We want to commit to abortion funding.
There are lots of demands made on the party and the candidates move to the left.
That's not happening this time.
What's happened instead is this thing I was talking about where there is no agreement about why what they did under Biden, whether they went too far left to the left or what.
And a left flank that is saying, just let us take the wheel.
Let us let us run on Medicare for all.
Let us let us run on cutting all aid to Israel, even on weapon sales to Israel.
So Democrats are just destined to have a fight, but a very different fight they had in 2019, because there's no wing of the party that says we know that our ideas are going to work.
They were much more confident, much more money being spent to to organize progressive groups in the first Trump term than there is now.
So it is if it looks messy, it's because it is very messy.
There is not a figure leading the Democratic Party with a unified Trump message.
The closest you get is not the leadership of the party.
It's Bernie Sanders.
It is Bernie Sanders, who's a popular politician having mass rallies around the country and saying Democrats haven't really done anything for the working class in 30 years.
That's not an amazing base to build your comeback message on that our party's been terrible since the 1960s, arguably.
