From Cory Booker’s marathon speeches to Bernie Sanders and AOC’s “political rock band” tour, different factions within the party are vying for attention and influence. This lack of unity, combined with a perceived disconnect from the concerns of average voters, has led to questions about the party’s future.

Similarly, Stacey Abrams was celebrated as a fighter for refusing to concede in Georgia. However, when conservatives raise concerns about election integrity, they are immediately labeled as threats to democracy.
This inconsistency has fueled accusations of hypocrisy and further eroded trust in the Democratic Party, especially among voters dealing with real-world issues like affording prenatal checkups, navigating OB-GYN liability claims, or dealing with finance-related stress during high-risk pregnancies.
