Mainstream Democrats are getting a message here.
And this is pretty common in American politics that activists elevate initiatives.
and the mainstream of the party ultimately subsumes it.
This is a cop-out answer, but it'll obviously vary from person to person and group to group.
There are going to be some diehard democratic socialists who will say that any person who doesn't reject the system of capitalism is complicit in the oppression of the working classes around the world, right?
There are also going to be progressives who understand that it's important to work within the Democratic Party to gradually change it.
Over time, in in different cases, the relative balance of which two paths.
Different parts of the left take is going to vary.
If Gavin Newsom wins the Democratic nomination because he adopted a buzzword about top versus bottom, it's going to be a little different than if it's, say, a John Ossoff who centers corruption and taking on the billionaires in this campaign, right?
So there are a lot of subtleties here.
But I think over the long run, the thing that's sort of guaranteed is that if the progressive left becomes strong enough in the Democratic Party, it is going to change the Democratic.
Yeah.
If the mainstream of the party resists it, that's when you have the opportunity for a real hostile takeover, like what happened to the Republicans.
I think it's too early to say whether we're going to see something more like an hostile takeover or more like the mainstream of the Democratic Party letting the Democratic Socialists in and gradually allow it to change the party.
In some cases, you'll see some of both.
I think over the medium term I would expect to see the mainstream of the Democratic Party try and embrace economic populism, try and take a more anti Israel stance.
And that may be enough to prevent a true takeover of the Democratic Party by democratic socialists, even as the Democratic Party moves to the left as a consequence.
But the natural tendency for a party is to try and assimilate all of its parts and to forge a coalition, to use a word that we've used probably too many times in this episode.
And that's the natural way for the party to end up.
colleague.
