The left better pay attention. This is important.
And a big-time Democrat unleashed an urgent warning to fellow leftists.
Democratic strategist Donna Brazile went on ABC’s This Week this past Sunday and delivered a warning that should make every working American sit up and take notice.
Host George Stephanopoulos pressed her on the surge of Democratic Socialists of America candidates winning House primaries.
Brazile did not soft-pedal the reality:
“Well, first of all, George, when you look at the DSA, which is not the Democratic Party, so I had to go online to figure it out. They ran 29 candidates. They’ve lost 11. They’ve won seven. And there’s still an opportunity for them if they play their cards right, maybe to pick up three or four more seats.”
That admission alone exposes how far the left has drifted. A lifelong Democratic operative had to search online just to understand the group now pulling her party’s strings in primary after primary.
She continued with the real problem facing Democrats:
“The problem right now, George, is that the Democratic Party must define itself and make sure that we don’t get caught in this socialist wave, which is, you know, popping up here, there and everywhere. But I think Michigan is going to tell us a lot about this current electorate. We know they’re angry, they want change. And both candidates are trying not to allow the labels to define them.”
That is the same energy that put Donald Trump in the White House the first time and brought him back again.
Brazile noted how both candidates in that Michigan contest are scrambling to claim the populist mantle:
“Miss Stevens said I’m not a moderate, I’m a populist. Mr. Abdul said I’m not a progressive, I’m a populist. They want to capture this anger and they want to see if they can ride it to the polls.”
When the labels “moderate” and “progressive” become liabilities, and everyone suddenly wants to sound like a populist, you know the old Democratic machine is in deep trouble.
Right-leaning voters watching this spectacle should take heart.
The other side is confused, divided, and forced to pretend it is populist while its loudest voices push policies that would gut American energy, industry, and borders.
