So anyway, here’s a sketch of what I think the Dems will need to do. My three basic ideas are:
- Present a sane alternative to Trump’s inflationary policies
- Defend democracy and freedom of speech against Trump/Musk overreach
- Ditch the progressive baggage of the 2010s, and focus on the common good
Most of these approaches have been used successfully by Democratic politicians in the recent past — most notably by Bill Clinton in 1992. In fact, recapturing the spirit of 1992 is a good general summary of how Dems ought to think about how to recover from the disaster of 2024.
