Product details

True Blues: The Democratic Party’s Contentious Transformation is a book written by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Thomas Edsall. The book examines the transformation of the Democratic Party from a party of the white working class to a party of the professional class and minorities. Edsall argues that this transformation has led to a number of challenges for the party, including: A loss of support among white working-class voters. A growing divide between the party’s liberal and moderate wings. A lack of a clear message and identity. Edsall also argues that the Democratic Party needs to find a way to appeal to both its traditional base of support and to the new voters who have joined the party in recent years. The book is based on extensive interviews with Democratic politicians, strategists, and voters. It provides a detailed and nuanced look at the challenges facing the Democratic Party. It is a must-read for anyone interested in American politics.
