Democratic Party Must Return to Basics or Risk Losing Its Base

Lawrence Bell discusses the ongoing changes within the Democratic Party, emphasizing the need for a positive agenda beyond just opposing Donald Trump.

He highlights the recent primary in Maryland, where progressive candidates similar to Zoran Mamdani, Mayor of New York City, are gaining traction.

Bell criticizes the Democratic establishment for focusing on process over results and calls for a more proactive approach.

He cites examples of mismanaged funds, such as $641 million from the American Rescue Act in Baltimore, which failed to address local needs.

Bell advocates for a return to basics, like affordable housing and healthcare, and calls for a radical change in Democratic policies to better serve their base.
