Is The Democratic Party Starting To Show Cracks?

For years, we were told the Democratic Party was fine. Now even a few party elders are admitting it’s broken. But naming the problem isn’t enough. We need primaries.

It took 30 years, two Trump presidencies, and a broken economy— but the cracks are finally too big to hide.

Some mainstream Democrats are even starting to admit something they spent years denying, the party lacks vision. They offer too little in the way of a competing alternative to MAGA

Bernie was out on the road with AOC packing gymnasiums in red states, telling crowds what a lot of us have known for years:

“What Democrats lack now is a vision for the future.”

And up in New Hampshire, JB Pritzker’s up on stage telling Democrats to “knock off the rust of poll-tested language and stale decorum” and start fighting like they mean it.

In these moment of change we have to watch for false profits.

Don’t be fooled, aside from Bernie these folks aren’t trying to rebuild the party. Pritzker and Bennet are just positioning themselves to capture a moment. They’re insincere and opportunistic – trying to catch the anger wave and ride it into a new job at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Still, cracks are cracks. The old game is breaking down. The question we must answer is, what, if anything are we going to do about it? Are we going back to the status quo that got us here? Are we going back to the leaders who put us in this position?
