After a disappointing 2024 election, some Democrats are turning to economic populism as the path forward. But in Le Monde, PPI’s Richard Kahlenberg argues that this approach misses the mark. Reviving the party’s appeal, he writes, requires more than class-based rhetoric — it demands a renewed moral and civic vision that bridges divides across race and class. Drawing on Robert F. Kennedy’s legacy of liberal patriotism, Kahlenberg highlights a model that championed civil rights and fair treatment for Black and Hispanic Americans, while emphasizing jobs over aid and being tough on crime. https://lnkd.in/erym8xgH
