Dennis Prager argues that progressives have lost touch with the broader country by focusing on college-educated urban voters and identity politics. He criticizes Democratic policies like student loan forgiveness as disproportionately benefiting their base rather than addressing working-class concerns.
The progressives are part of the problem now. They were once focused on policies that improve people's lives, promising to be unbought and uncompromisable. But after the summer of 2020, that rhetoric all but faded away. They've become compromised by the social justice language and divisive identity politics that now dominate the entire Democratic ecosystem. Here's the sad truth: the Democratic Party has lost its way entirely. They mostly speak to the college-educated, the urban and affluent, in their language. Their tone is condescending and paternalistic. They peddle giveaways to the college-educated, like student loan forgiveness plans that disproportionately help their base. Snubbing the majority of the country without a 4-year degree, and then offer no tangible plans for true reform.
