“The Democratic Party is no stranger to tsuris these days. It’s not just its failure to win working-class votes; it’s also its failure to convince its own base that it can stand up to Donald Trump and move beyond those moderate positions crafted in and for a time of less extreme challenges. Next week, when the Democratic National Committee meets in Minneapolis, the party has an opportunity to show its disgruntled base (whose dismay is chiefly responsible for the party’s bottom-basement standing in the polls) that it can actually grapple with current realities. Of the various resolutions the DNC will consider, two stand out. One would ban corporate contributions and super PAC dark money from the Democrats’ 2028 presidential primaries. The second would put the party on record as supporting a ban on the provision of U.S. arms to Israel.” (08/22/25)
