New polling reveals growing discontent with Democratic leadership as base pushes for stronger opposition to Trump and support for progressive policies.

But this requires electing Democrats who understand the gravity of the moment and who are prepared to expend serious political capital to make big changes possible.

Democrats can shake off old ways of thinking by standing on their visions for the future even in conservative areas by passing the baton to the next generation to ensure the work of creating a better society for everyone can continue.

Right now, the Democratic Party appears to be stuck between Little Rock and a hard place.

The DNC should provide leadership at times like these. But there’s still no leadership, several months into a second Trump regime that’s much worse than the first.

The Uncommitted National Movement, which garnered substantial support in the Democratic primary against the Biden-Harris administration’s stance on Israel, has been pushing for a Palestinian American voice on the DNC main stage.

While election year politics dominates the news, the control of both major U.S. political parties by the fossil fuel industry and the military-industrial complex makes the policies they agree on more dangerous than their disagreements.

At the Democratic National Convention, Bernie Sanders laid out a bold, progressive policy agenda that diverges from Vice President Kamala Harris’s platform. While his critiques could challenge Harris, they might also help her appeal to moderate voters by providing a contrast to Sanders’s more radical positions.

Ideally this can be resolved by the Democrats engaging in focused strategic and tactical consideration with one over-riding goal: How to retain the White House and Senate and win back the House.

If the Democrats cannot bridge their plausible domestic agenda with a convincing, majority belief system, the future will lurch from crisis to crisis—or worse.
