MODERATORS
 

summary:

"Democratic Rep. Josh Harder argues that Democrats must become the party most angry at the status quo to regain voter trust and electoral success. He emphasizes that the party currently faces a serious disconnect with many voters, who see Democrats as elitist and out of touch with everyday concerns. Harder criticizes the influence of far-left groups within the party, which push extreme positions such as decriminalizing border crossings and Medicare for All, that are unpopular even among the groups they claim to represent. He warns that candidates who align too closely with these far-left demands risk alienating moderate and swing voters, which contributed to Vice President Kamala Harris's poor performance in the 2024 election. Harder calls for Democrats to abandon these extreme pledges, reconnect with pragmatic voters, and focus on policies that can win broad support rather than ideological purity. He stresses the need for boldness and a break from outdated practices to rebuild the party's appeal and competitiveness"
