The Democrats Are Risking It All

from Lost Debate · host The Branch

Who really runs the Democratic Party today? Ravi sits down with Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action, to discuss the rise of online influencers, ideological purity tests, and the fight over who the party's true "establishment" is. They explore whether the Democratic Party has drifted away from Barack Obama's vision of broad coalitions and respectful disagreement—and toward a more Trump-like style of politics driven by loyalty tests, online personalities, and ideological conformity. Are Democrats building a movement that can win elections—or repeating the very mistakes they once criticized?
