The Democratic Party is facing the consequences of its own making. Years of indoctrinating their base with radical leftist ideologies and extreme cultural policies have left them in a precarious position, with dissent finally bubbling to the surface.
In a revealing moment on CNN, Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) didn’t hold back, expressing that the Democratic Party has strayed far from the desires of the American public by prioritizing radical activists over voters’ voices.
During an exchange with CNN’s liberal reporter Pamela Brown, Moulton highlighted the out-of-touch stance of the party, particularly regarding the contentious issue of transgender athletes in women’s sports.
Pamela Brown:
Well, listen, as we were talking about, there is a lot of dissatisfaction among voters right now—among Democrats—reflected in the numbers. CNN’s latest polling shows the Democratic Party’s favorability rating stands at 29%. That is a record low in our polling history. Plus, among Democratic voters, 77% say Democratic members are doing too little to oppose Trump. That second number really stands out to me, and it makes you ask the question: In your view, specifically, where have Democrats failed?Seth Moulton:
Well, we’re failing on two levels, and I go back to the two things I believe Democrats should be doing today. One is standing up more effectively to Trump…But the second thing we have to do is actually make some reforms to the party, because we lost this election across the board—an election that should have been easy for us to win. When in our history have we ever run against a convicted felon sitting at the top of the ticket? This past election should have been an easy one for Democrats, and yet we lost across the board because so many Americans said, “You guys are just out of touch.”
Moulton expressed a significant revelation, acknowledging that Democrats fear the wrath of the radical left, which intimidates them into silence on the extremist cultural agenda.
Pamela Brown:
How do you reform yourself, though, to be more in touch with the everyday American person, like you say?Seth Moulton:
Well, I’ll tell you what—we’ve become a party of people who preach down to others, who scold them, who say, “If you don’t agree with me, you’re not only wrong, but you’re a bad person.” I think all of us have heard that attitude from many national Democrats in the past couple of years.So I think we need to stop preaching and start listening—start meeting Americans where they are. Don’t take these minority positions on cultural issues and say, “Hey, if you don’t meet this strict liberal litmus test, then you’re not even a Democrat.”
When I questioned whether we should at least just have a debate about rules for sports—whether transgender women should compete on the same level as girls’ sports teams—I got accosted. I got told by people, “You’re not even a Democrat.” Well, that’s the problem with our party. You can’t be a majority party if you don’t accept a majority of views.
On this particular issue, 80% of Americans disagree with this liberal litmus test—a checkbox for Democrats on this view. So we’ve got to be a lot smarter in listening to Americans. My job is to represent Americans—not tell them what to think, but actually represent their interests in Congress.
Moulton’s closing remarks pushed for a Democratic shift towards a more inclusive approach, reflecting true representation for the American public.
Seth Moulton:
And I think if more Democrats took that approach—took that view—we’d be much more successful as a party.Pamela Brown:
It’s interesting, too, because, as you well know, Governor Newsom came around to your view on that particular issue.Seth Moulton:
And I’ll tell you what—I’ve heard from so many colleagues behind the scenes, “You’re right, Seth. You’re right. Thank you for…” I wrote a big op-ed in The Washington Post about this. “I totally agree with you.” But they all say it whispering, because they’re so afraid to say it out in public—lest they be accosted by the liberal left in our party.
JUST IN: Dem Rep Seth Moulton says Dem lawmakers are being held hostage by the woke mob in his party which is why they’re terrified to speak out against men in women’s sports.
