The Democratic Party is upset by the defeat that suffered in the November election last November. On Saturdays, they have the first great opportunity to decide how to regain themselves from the political wilderness by selecting a new leader for the democratic national committee.
There is a party Reliable candidate For the DNC chairman’s post, the 448 -party insider, the Labor Party leader, and the various vice chairs and executions satisfied by the selected officials.
Many of the media focus on the chairman’s contest for the prospect that the winner could appear as a major face opposing Donald Trump’s dangerous presidential position. That’s especially true, if the activists with groups such as Moveon and the Progressive Change Campaign Committee are dynamic people such as Ben Wikla, the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, the front line of the top work. One, the other, is a veteran organizer who was instructed by Paul Welstone, a former member of the U.S. U.S. U.
Certainly, pushing back to Trump is an important job for the new top team. But that is not enough. The Democratic Party needs a leader who promotes the fundamental transformation of the party’s personality and vision. After all, this is a political organization that could not gain enough support from the traditional foundation of the working class voters in 2024, despite considerable resources and diligent candidates. In order to defeat both Republican members, they are not just they do. A few years ago, it has been far affiliated with American politics.
The overhaul must be both internal and external.
What is needed is the economic, social and racial, in which the allies in grassroots and labor, environment, and civil rights organizations cleaning past messages pacrums and voting for frustrated Americans. A Democratic Party replacing it with an absolute commitment to justice. for.
Current problem
In other words, the next DNC chairman cannot be a mere competent manager. Or even worse, it’s just a complement to financing the leaders of the party’s parliament. The chair must be led, along with the biss chair, in a way that Trump and his minions are not the only way to define our political moment.
History tells you what you need. The party had a transformed chair in the past: Paul ButlerIn the 1950s, he was known for his sour and clear speech for the Democratic leaders of Congress and the Southern Southern Division. Ron BrownFrom the late 1980s to the early 1990s, a true commit to mobilized diversity and new voice (with the help of Rev. Jessie Jackson). And the Howard Dean introduced 50 state strategy It was a considerable success in the 2000s. But what a party needs now is the new Fred Harris. It is a 21st century version Fierce Oklahoma Popurist The DNC shaked during a short resident in the late 1960s to the early 1970s.
They no longer create a politician like Harris. However, today’s DNC members should be looking for a leader who can close the interior and external populism.
Harris, a Senator of Oklahoma, nominates the Democratic Party. 1976 He died at the age of 94 last fall with the promise of the slogan “Tax the Rich!” And “No More Bullshit!” Channel CommitteeIn the 1960s, the explanation of the riot in the United States was identified as an explanation of “extensive discrimination and separation”), and one senior member who had all the senior members opposed to the Supreme Court’s nomination. Lewis (“Powell Memorandum”) PowellAnd an advanced populism champion for anticipating anti -academets, Rev. Jesse Jackson Jr., Senator Barney Sanders, and New York, Alexandria Okasio Cortes.
However, Harris also had a short crack and a start period of start as the chair of the Democratic National Committee.
His time was too short -it was less than a year and a half in 1969 and 1970. Harris set up a work to help the Democratic Party of the grass, but he did not give time to complete the job of making the Democratic Party like that. Exercise for state economic justice.
The Democratic Party needs to end his work if Harris has now spent more than 50 years since Harris spent his time as DNC chairman.
When Harris was nominated for a DNC chair in January 1969 time A magazine report on the selection has become a headline.I won’t go anywhere。 The party was in a miserable strait after the 1968 election. Four years after Lindon Baines Johnson won the presidential election in 1964, he won the magnificent 61-39 general voting victory of the Democratic Party of Johnson’s Vice President, Hubert Hamfrey. 。 Gained just 42.7 % of the voting In a race where he lost to Republican Richard Nixon.
After the democratic national convention of seeing violence on the Chicago streets in the hall, the Democratic Party collapsed, and the North Liberal faction supported hamfrey as a southern part of the southern part, and many northern worker -class voters. , Alabama Governor George Wallace, who supported the bidding of a racial third party. It was very bad time For the Democratic Party, “As both the drunken and defeated politicians know, the advantage of calmness is that there is no further down.”
Later, Harris, a 38 -year -old fire brand, who was considering the Vice President’s running colleagues, was in charge of cleaning confusion. However, the vision of the Senator was more ambitious.
He wanted to recreate the Democratic Party as a motor organization with the mission of fighting poverty in the United States. Harris said, “We promise to make the party very vigorous as we want the people we need.”
To achieve his goal, Harris fought to confirm that the party welcomes newcomers. Remember the 1968 tournament He said“The Democratic Party was not the Democratic Party, many of the delegations were considerably controlled or dominated, and in the southern part, there was a terrible discrimination against African Americans.”
Harris worked to defeat the 1968 -supported Women, McCursey and Bobby Kennedy campaigns, and the young anti -Vietnamese war activists. He has created a committee that has well reformed the parliamentary selection process of future national customs. Boss and backroom transactions are replaced with democracy.
As with today’s pushback, there was a pushback in the Harris era. However, Oklahoman knew that the Democratic Party had to change.
Harris wanted the Democratic Party to identify the Democratic Party as a means for raising all races from poverty and making the party a working -class political wing. He was the chairman of the DNC, but Harris was still a Senator. Harris retreated when Nixon proposed a welfare reform to guarantee at least $ 1,600 annual income to four families, Say“Such a low -level floor. Instead of nurturing a family from poverty, it means to enter the lower depth of poverty than ever before.”
Oklahoman’s alternative was a bold plan to provide economic safety to all Americans. He claimed a more powerful union, a higher wage, and a government intervention that guarantees that there are no families below the 1970 poverty line of about $ 3,900.
It was a fundamental vision of the fundamental change. It was a fundamental change in the country, not just the Democratic Party. In the early 1970s, he was imposed on Harris and his allies, and many of the parties later enjoyed an advanced populism, which would later be exemplified by Assistant Harris, Jim High Tower. Unfortunately, the work of a clear and clear advocate of the worker class needed to overcome the division of the era was not completed.
A few decades later, high tower and many others argue that this approach is still a virus to overcome the division of the current era. Since the 2024 election, their debate has gained traction and has become a focus on the competition of the party chairman.
He served as the DNC chairman, and later Harris, as presidential candidate, tried to create a Democratic Party recognized for opposition to privileges.
“The fundamental problem is that too few people have all the money and power, and everyone else is too few.” He claimed。 “Wide spreading economic and political power should be the explicit goal of the government, that is, the target.”
