The most hyped theme of the 2020 election cycle is that the Democratic Party has lurched suddenly and dramatically to the left. The central question is how we’re going to help our nominee win states such as Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. And that’s key: Our nominee will need the voters in their districts to win a sufficient number of purple states in next year’s election. That then points to the third myth: namely that, to win, Democrats need to mirror Trump’s abrasive political style. The far left hasn’t taken control of the Democratic Party.
