Episode One: The History of the Democratic Party – The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

Episode 1 The Democratic Party has been both a champion of progress and a barrier to it. In this episode, we take a brutally honest look at its history—from its early days defending slavery and segregation to its transformation during the Civil Rights era. We examine the rise of economic populism under FDR, the leadership of JFK, and how the party lost its way in recent decades, embracing bureaucracy over bold leadership. The question remains: Can the Democratic Party reclaim its roots and once again be the party of the working class and national strength? This is The Democratic Reset.
