I think you’re crossing the streams a bit here. What you wrote here is •super• important and well said:
“The Democratic party exists to govern within a logical institutional framework. The right has spent almost 40 years working to undermine that structure.”
That explains so much of what the party can and cannot accomplish right now, what we should and should not reasonably expect of it. I don’t think “caring about people” changes that equation. But separately…
