Murphy advocates for a populist agenda and urges his colleagues to take more political risks instead of adhering to traditional bipartisan negotiations. He believes that simply trying to be more popular than Republicans is insufficient, as the rules are becoming increasingly rigged to favor undemocratic practices, making it vital for Democrats to act decisively to protect democracy.
