Democratic Party can win in 2028 if it accepts three difficult truths

The summary of this article, by the chief US political commentator for the Financial Times, is that if the Democrats don't out-Republicans the Republicans, then they'll never succeed again.

I don't like this analysis, in part because I think it's wrong. But that's probably my confirmation bias.

The other part of why I don't like the analysis is that he seems to say that all vulnerable people must be abandoned by the Democrats in the same way the Republicans have, and protecting Democracy should not be part of their platform.

That's just horrific, and can only be understood as support for majoritarian, anti-democratic policies. I.e. fascism.
