People always try to make this debate: “Is so-and-so the future of the Democratic Party?” What does that even mean?
I’d rather spend my time talking about how we can actually win. That’s the conversation I’m interested in having.
How about we ask what issues are the future of the Democratic Party?
How about we ask is guaranteed healthcare the future of the Democratic Party? Is banning insider trading by members of Congress the future of the Democratic Party? Is putting limits on lobbying the future of the Democratic Party?
They never ask about the issues — and that’s on purpose, because then it’s about what we’re saying. It’s about the agenda that speaks to people.
Wouldn’t you rather elect someone who’s trying to do those things — someone who’s working for us and not for special interests?
That’s what I want. Someone who’s trying. Someone who’s fighting for us.
The people define the Democratic Party. Not the DNC. Not incumbents.
And in the last few weeks, the people chose Chris Rabb, Sam Forstag, and Dr. Adam Ramawy — brawlers for the working-class who won by being clear about what they were fighting for — to represent them.
We can keep this momentum going. But it's up to each and every one of us to do it.
In solidarity,
Alexandria
