The Democratic Party Establishment Is Finished

11/29/2016

This article argues that the Democratic Party establishment is in decline after the election of Donald Trump. It highlights the dissatisfaction of many Democratic voters with the party's perceived lack of progressive policies and its failure to address the economic struggles faced by working-class Americans. The article suggests that the party's focus on identity politics and its close ties to corporate interests have alienated a large portion of its traditional base. It also explores how Trump's victory represents a rejection of the existing political establishment and a demand for change. The author concludes that the Democratic Party must undergo a significant transformation in order to regain its standing and effectively challenge the Trump administration.
