The Democratic Party’s structure, once concentrated around the charismatic leadership of Obama, has now unraveled into a directionless machine, struggling without a cohesive strategy or leadership.
Despite extensive efforts to retain Black, Hispanic, working-class, and union voter support, many of these groups have shifted allegiances towards Donald Trump, revealing a significant erosion in loyalty.
Michael Lind argues that the Obama administration fostered a political machine reliant on urban support and elite networks, but the shift in leadership post-Obama has rendered this machine ineffective.
For the future of the Democratic Party, it’s essential to reassess its institutional foundations and rejuvenate its strategies rather than merely focusing on new ideas or campaign tactics.
