John, yesterday I
had the chance to speak about what just happened to an incredible group of
over 100,000 Democrats and progressive organizers on a mass call sponsored
by more than 100 grassroots organizations. I wanted to make sure you heard
the message too.
I’m sure we share a lot of theories as to what went wrong. But we need to
listen to voters – not just hot takes. The one thing we really know for
sure: Democrats were not able to articulate clearly enough how we would
improve people’s lives.

policies that will actually make a real difference in people’s lives, will
you pitch in $3 today to help grow our movement?
A lot of people who voted for Donald Trump did so because they believe the
system is broken — which they’re right about — and they saw Trump as
someone who was willing to buck that system.
In several Trump states, voters simultaneously voted for ballot
initiatives to raise the minimum wage, implement paid sick leave, and
protect abortion access. Voters were clearly signaling they felt economic
pain and attacks on their freedoms. We should listen to them.
Democrats need to do a better job of making it clear to voters how we will
materially improve their lives. And as Chair of the Congressional
Progressive Caucus, that will be one of my top priorities in the coming
months.
But John, I
don’t take corporate PAC money, and there are already a lot of powerful
voices calling for the Democratic Party to move further to the right. It’s
going to take a sustained grassroots effort to make sure that we remain
focused on the kind of progressive policies that will actually improve
people’s lives.
So while I know the 2024 election just ended, the work starts now to put
ourselves in a position to rebuild and act on a bold progressive agenda
after the next elections in 2026 and 2028.
