Democrats who are capable of introspection. But very few!
This is a ridiculous understanding of circa 2024 American politics and power, and it should be retired as soon as possible. It completely absolves liberals of actually standing for anything (other than platitudes), let alone fixing the increasingly dysfunctional organizations we run — organizations that make it all too easy for conservatives to point, laugh, and say “This is who you want running the U.S. government?”
Without some pretty unsparing introspection, The Democrat party can’t change! But are Democrats capable of such self-reflection? As a whole, I guess I doubt it.
But at a moment when liberals have less political power than we’ve had in a long time — a situation that will maintain, at the federal level, for at least the next two years — it’s vital we take an honest, self-critical look at how we’ve wielded the power we have had in recent years.
Introspection: Democrats, you’re doing it wrong…
