Here's the Left of Lansing "Monday Musing" for September 29, 2025.
Center-Left commentator and writer Ezra Klein believes Democrats can only win elections by churning-out more center-right candidates in red states. Yet, voters tend to support more progressive policies even in those red states.
Yes, expanding the electoral map is crucial for Democrats, but progressives must not surrender their political, cultural, and economic values to expand that map.
And if Ezra Klein hasn't noticed, his way isn't working for Democrats.
