In reply to the discussion: CBC pushes back on Slotkin's call for 'new leadership' among Democrats [View all]ancianita
(43,450 posts)When Slotkin says "... old models aren't working, and that includes the Democratic Party," she is being carelessly divisive.
Hakeem Jeffries is Pelosi's endorsed House leader. As such he stands as a major part of "Democratic leadership." The CBC is correct to clarify that.
The Democratic Party is not in any way 'part of the problem' when it comes to campaigning on the merits, gerrymandering election districts, or governing. At all. The electoral college is the problem. Eliminate it and the popular vote will elect the Democratic Party most of the time.
Moreover, the Democratic Party is the longest standing model since FDR for restoring and maintaining and preserving this longest standing democracy.
Slotkin's probably angling for leadership herself.
