Lower prices and social justice are not in conflict, and Democrats should do a better job of declaring that these goals do reinforce each other, to everyone’s benefit.
In the wake of Democrats’ losses in this year’s election, questions have been raised about the party’s progressive wing, with some claiming that “woke is dying.” There are indeed lessons to learn, but Democrats should not abandon their core values.
Obviously, elections are won by appealing to a broad base. Going too far left or right undermines that. Though President-elect Donald Trump is mostly on the extreme right, he apparently appealed to enough centrist voters with an economic message that denounced inflation (despite his proposed inflation-fostering tariffs) and a law-and-order message that condemned illegal immigration (despite also targeting legal nonwhite immigrants).
In response, just what do critics want Democrats to do? Should Democrats say or imply by inaction that Black Americans don’t deserve equal rights and respect from police? That LGBTQIA people may be disparaged, excluded and otherwise discriminated a

Yes! Do what he says...PLEASE!!!
Progressive “values”
Talk about an oxymoron.
I trust someone is keeping a record of all the main stream media claims about what Trump would do if elected. A list of these claims and who made them should be kept. Then the public can decide whether these came true and also evaluate the truth of the main stream media.
This is what I would encourage someone I did not like, to do.
Basically, it’s putting the albatross around their neck.
Orthodoxy repels all but the most passionate adherents.
Requiring people to believe that only white people can be racist, or that biological males should be on a high school girls’ soccer team, or that Hamas are freedom fighters, are not good ways to win elections.
“D**n! It didn’t work. Let’s double down!”
Double down!
“Democrats Should Stay ‘Woke’ and not Abandon Progressive Values”
Whenever you see the word “progressive” replace it with “radical” and things will make more sense.
Dems, listen to the AJC. Double down on woke.
Please.

I interrupt this thread to bring you this important announcement.
🚨 The PA Supreme Court has sided with the McCormick campaign and ordering an immediate end to the unlawful acts of the counties on this issue. Again the race was over but now it’s really x3 over.
👍👍👍👍👍
no they should double down
the pro child mutilation was a sure fire winner
keep that front and center
advice from the ATL Urinal and Constipation.
Even a court that has mostly Democrats on it probably does not like being insulted like that publicly.
The d/s/c didn’t go too far to the left, they didn’t go far enough.
They need to get serious about this progressive chit, go all in and really push it hard and nonstop 24/7/365.
It’s the only way to be sure.
The Rats are rotten to the core (values).
Roger is drinking his own pondwater.
Their “core values” are putting tampons in every high school boy’s rooms here in CT.
We are paying close attention to what they do.
it’s all a pendulum, in 2 years it will swing left again. Much like a virus, the left will kill off there weak, then mutate to something worse and be ready to fight, lie and steal in 2026 mids.
Reps will grow complacent and piss away there power and give no reason for the new voters who voted in 24 to elect them
