Are we "in the early stages of the birth of a new Democratic Party"?

56. "What Do Centrist Democrats Even Stand For?"

It's in the title. Then there is this. "Democrats across the ideological spectrum seem to agree that their party lacks a clear message in the Trump era." The very phrase that "Democrats need to stand for something" is ubiquitous. You know it is too.

It isn't a conversation about winning. It isn't a conversation at all. It's hurling insults. There is absolutely no substance in your post. The entire point is the proclamation that so-called "centrists" stand for nothing. That is your response to the electoral victories last night.

I reject the definition of left advanced by self-identified "progressives." I see most of it as about narrow race and class interests rather than equality. In fact, we even see arguments that civil rights and reproductive rights need to be rolled back in order to "win." The effect that has on poverty is disregarded. The proclamation that their interests are supposedly universal, while deliberately ignoring or even arguing against the concerns, rights, and votes of the majority worsens, not lessens inequality.
