The article argues that when the left is unable to effectively advocate for the working class, it risks democracy by allowing the right to dominate with extreme ideologies. It emphasizes the need for the Democratic Party to focus on practical, rational goals that resonate with hourly and median-income workers. This approach is crucial to calm the electorate and counteract the reactionary rage often stoked by the right. Simplifying their message for low-information voters is also vital for the Democrats to regain their base and ensure responsible governance.

The Democratic Party has a moral obligation to advocate for the working class, as only it can pursue their rational interests effectively.
