American Samizdat

Saturday, November 30, 2002. *
What now for liberals and Democrats? Exactly what does this past election mean for the left? While progressives have complained for years that the Democratic Party isn't liberal enough, 54% of Democrats say the party too left of center. Where exactly does that leave us? Are we to conclude that America is simply not ready for a progressive agenda? That most progressives simply do not identify as Democrats? That the polls are flawed? One thing is for certain: if Democrats want to win, they must create a clearly alternative to Republicans with a solid plan for change. In his open letter to Nacy Pelosi Todd Gitlin provides some advice for balancing these concerns. Meanwhile: Al Gore and John Kerry have come out swinging.
