Progressive Populism Will Save the Democratic Party. A Debate

Description

As Democratic leaders and strategists plan for upcoming elections, the party stands at a crossroads. For progressive populists, the path forward is clear: To regain Congress and the White House, Democrats must get back in touch with the party’s working-class roots by championing a specific set of policies, including Medicare for all, free public college tuition, a guaranteed federal jobs program, and housing as a human right. But many centrist Democrats disagree, arguing that these "pie-in-the-sky" policies would be expensive and unworkable. They might also turn voters off. Far better, they claim, for Democrats to embrace an economically viable agenda that can actually be enacted in Washington, D.C., and state capitals across the nation. Which of these paths should Democrats take? Will progressive populism save the Democratic Party?
