Richard Eskow: In Search of the Democratic Soul

MORNING MESSAGE

Richard Eskow
In Search of the Democratic Soul

Democrats should be wooing progressives, not scolding them. [They] will also be winning over the many Republicans and independents who agree with them on a broad range of issues. The best way to find the soul of the Democratic Party is by seeking out the small-d 'democratic' soul instead – that voice of the majority that so often goes unheard in today’s money-driven politics. It can be found by speaking, in an unwavering voice, for the millions of voters who seek concrete solutions to their problems: stagnating wages, unaffordable education, a disappearing middle-class, racism, war, and crumbling roads and bridges.
