Jon Stewart: 民主党需要改变策略,才能更好地代表工薪阶层。我们需要一个为工薪阶层奋斗的政党,而不是迎合富裕阶层的政党。民主党与民众之间存在脱节,需要改变治理方式,才能更好地回应民众的需求。我们需要定义明确的敌人,并制定相应的策略。 民主党在决策和人员选择上过于可预测,这给了对手以优势。我们需要做出一些经过计算但不可预测的选择,才能占据上风。我们需要诚实地面对问题,并制定更有效的策略,才能重新定义民主党,使其更能代表民众的利益。 我们需要理解民众的困境,并制定能够从根本上解决问题的政策,而不是只触及问题的表面。我们需要一个清晰而有力的议程,才能向民众解释我们的立场。我们需要更强硬的进步主义,这种进步主义也包含常识性的执法方面。我们需要认识到,国会可以通过坚持正义来施加影响,政治家对激励措施很敏感。政府应该减轻资本主义的负面影响,而不是一味地维护现行制度。 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: 民主党内部存在等级制度和保守的决策方式,过于重视秩序而忽略了正义。为了与共和党区别开来,有时会显得过于拘谨。挑战民主党几十年来的运作方式具有重要意义。特朗普的行事方式使得民主党的保守做法显得无效。 民主党在决策和人员选择上过于可预测,这给了对手以优势。我们需要做出一些经过计算但不可预测的选择,才能占据上风。我们需要诚实地面对问题,并制定更有效的策略,才能重新定义民主党,使其更能代表民众的利益。 我们需要与民众直接沟通,并要有言行一致的民主党人。民主党内部的虚伪行为被对手利用来增加民众的愤世嫉俗。国会内部交易加剧了民众的愤世嫉俗,这有利于共和党。我们需要解决民众对制度不公正的担忧,团结是战胜亿万富翁阶级的策略。 民主党不应该被文化战争所分心。我们需要一种更强硬的进步主义,这种进步主义也包含常识性的执法方面。我们需要诚实地说明政府能够提供的成果。我们需要认识到,美国仍然是一个充满可能性的国家,争取正义需要持续的努力。

As Trump returns to the White House, backed by a coalition of billionaires and blue-collar workers alike, we’re joined by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). Together, we confront the growing disconnect between Democrats and their working class roots, discuss strategies for advancing progressive priorities in a resistant Congress, and explore what it would take to rebuild a party that actually delivers for working people.
