Beshear would be a solid candidate for sure. Being a successful Southern Dem makes him super electable, but I honestly don't know if he could survive a primary with how far the political pendulum is swinging back to the left.
Let's be honest. The Republican Party is a long way from the party of Lincoln. And the Democratic Party is a long way from the Party of George Wallace. Stop playing on people's emotions.
Paraphrasing the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the American culture is most symbolically represented by the bald eagle, followed closely by the American political pendulum. When it swings in one direction (MAGA), don’t be surprised when it swings with equal force in the opposite direction (Democratic Socialists).
I finished reading “Crooked Places Made Straight” by Sen. Warnock. As a southern democrat, I couldn’t agree more with his assessment that this country needs more clarity for the issues we face as a nation in today’s time.
More than 40 years ago, I arrived in Chicago in search of an idea. I was a young man looking for purpose, who believed deeply in America, was inspired by the Civil Rights Movement, and wanted to be a part of something larger. The America I believed in was one where everyone has opportunity, everyone is seen, everyone belongs—because that was an America that had a place for me, too.
