In this episode, we’re not just skimming the surface; we’re taking a hard look at the Democratic Party’s long and winding road—from its noble roots in the New Deal to its current identity crisis. Joining me is the brilliant Lily Geismar, a history professor at Claremont McKenna College and the author of two must-read books that dissect the failures of the Democratic Party in addressing inequality.
We’re going to tackle the big questions: How did the party that once championed the working class betray its core values? What role did elitism and opportunism play in shaping today’s political climate? And why is it more crucial than ever to reclaim the narrative of genuine progressivism?
