Time for a Progressive Rethink
Briefly

The article highlights the disconnection between the Democratic Party's priorities and the concerns of working Americans, emphasizing that issues like illegal immigration and rising prices resonate more than the party's focus on social and environmental issues. Following the 2016 election, Democrats committed to reconnecting with voters but failed to address the priorities that matter most to them. The historical shift of the party towards corporate influences has alienated traditional supporters, leaving a vacuum that could benefit Republicans in future elections.
Democrats have pledged to listen to working Americans, yet they continue to ignore their concerns, failing to connect with the economic and social issues that matter most.
Voters see the Democratic Party's priorities as influenced by financial elites rather than reflective of the needs of the working class, which alienates a substantial voter base.
