Unfortunate reductions in support and training for our state parties, consequential shifts in voter registration, a loss of partisan organizing capacity, and a persistent inability or unwillingness to listen to all voters has provided the other major party with opportunities for advancement at the expense of Democratic growth, evolution, and ability to find common ground with seemingly disparate groups of voters from coast to coast, and the heartland Democrats tend to ignore.

Historically, Democrats have held the advantage in each of these areas. The Democratic Party
has always tried to be seen as the party of the people, the party of workers, fair play and civil
discourse. The party’s connections with working Americans and their families were forged
through decades of organizing and engagement, the development of a vibrant and inclusive party infrastructure, and a relatable agenda which helped us connect in homes, workplaces, and
neighborhoods across the country.
