The Democratic Party’s Four-Way Squeeze
8th August 2026
The days might still be long, but this is a dark season in our country’s politics. Everybody’s nervous and many are furious, and yet all that emotion goes nowhere, just eats you up while you watch and wait for signs that help is on the way. What would that help even look like? Maybe a concerted effort to bum-rush a whole lot of bad ideas out of American life and replace them with better ideas that are worth building a life around.
Of the two political parties that used to vie between the interests of property and of labor, there is almost nothing left — nothing coherent, anyway.
