On November 19th, Newsweek ran an opinion piece by none other than Daniel Lubetzky, CEO of KIND snacks, whose net worth is estimated to be 2.3 billion dollars. In the wake of the Democrats’ failure to win the Presidency, keep the Senate, or even win the House, Lubetzky shared his point of view: it was the Left’s fault. And not just the Left in general, but specifically the Democratic Socialists of America. In his view, “the Democrats, a party of over 40 million registered voters, have been too eager to court the DSA’s fewer than 100,000 members. The party has allowed the DSA to set the terms of engagement on key issues like immigration and crime, with slogans like ‘open borders’ and ‘defund the police,’ making it all too easy for Republicans to tar their opposition.” This is a lie. If the DSA had been able to set the terms on those issues, we would have seen legislative movement from the Democrats. We haven’t.
Billionaire wants Democrats to let the ratchet move things farther to the right.
The party for complicity must move right!
