“The centrist Democratic group Third Way recently declared ‘war’ on democratic socialists to head off what they fear could be a far-left hijacking of the party ahead of 2028,” Axios reports.
“But establishment Democrats have made clear what they’re against without making much of a case for what they’re for.”
”Democratic socialism, whatever you think of it, is easy to grasp: Tax billionaires and redistribute wealth. Provide government-funded health care and child care for everyone. Rely less on markets for housing and education. Empower workers with stronger unions.”
”The establishment vision is murky. Raise taxes, but not too high; use government to make health care and child care more affordable, rather than taking them over; rein in the excesses of capitalism without upending capitalism itself.”
