It’s time for the Democrats to become an Opposition Party
77 so far! Help us get to 100 signers!
Currently, the Democratic Party appears to lack a clear strategy to firmly oppose the Trump administration’s divisive and regressive policies. A coherent vision centered on safeguarding civil liberties, expanding economic opportunity, and upholding democratic norms is essential.
Such a strategy must encompass:
- Prioritizing the defense of the rights of marginalized communities, addressing income inequality, and restoring faith in government institutions.
- Developing a bold, populist economic agenda that resonates with working families.
- Vocalizing the defense of freedom of the press and an independent judiciary as bulwarks against authoritarianism.
The party’s leadership is currently uncertain. The Democratic Party must unite around a positive and forward-looking platform while simultaneously responding decisively to Trump’s provocations. The nation’s future hinges on the Democrats becoming a genuine opposition party that offers a compelling alternative based on its core values of inclusion, equity, and democratic governance.
