I do not understand why the Democrat establishment is not calling for national mobilization. Everything the government is doing is unpopular (poll-tested), Americans want to fight for their rights, and for their neighbors, and for NATO, all of it. Democrat leaders are failing and I don't understand

The original Republican Party (though not Stephens or the other confiscationists, who were correct) was very conservative on economics. The Bryan Democrats were progressive but racist. It’s really more of a question of coalitions than ideology.
