“To succeed, the opposition must become a movement out in the country rather than a party trying to discover a formula in Washington.”

Bernie and AOC are showing how to do it. I would love to see Jasmine Crockett, Andy Kim, Wes Moore, Elissa Slotkin and yes, Nancy Pelosi out there, too.

Does the Democratic Party need to reinvent itself? No, but it needs to rediscover itself.

Two words: New Deal.
