The article discusses two major issues: the Democratic Party's disconnection from working-class voters, labeled as a 'Brahmin Left' by Ruy Teixeira, and the U.S. approach to providing ongoing support to Ukraine. Teixeira warns that the party's elite focus jeopardizes its future and suggests that more than economic populism is needed to bridge the gap. Simultaneously, Mark T. Kimmitt comments on the importance of negotiating a minerals deal with Ukraine as a way to recoup financial expenditures, highlighting America's substantial defense spending amidst a looming national debt crisis.
The Democrats have become and remain today a 'Brahmin Left' party, increasingly bereft of working-class voters and dominated by highly educated voters and elites. This 'Brahminization' presents existential dangers to the party.
Seeking to recoup some of the funds provided to Ukraine is both reasonable and fiscally imperative. Wars have been financed with borrowed money, and Washington is now $37 trillion in debt.
