Adam Smith was a standard boomer member of the Boomer, born in 1965, and was technically born a year after a cut -off between generations, but he still uses AOL accounts. It is pushed up to the line. He likes to read books about high democracy. He recently completed a book about the division of the United States and how China taking over the western world after the Civil War. His parents are the working class, which is the center of his self -assertion. He became himself in the Clinton era, and he did not let go of the fashionable idea that politicians should work hard and speak their personal responsibilities. Certainly, he opposes the agenda of Donald Trump, but recently he feels alone in his party. It is a very focused concept of identity, capitalism evil, and more imminent problems in people’s daily lives, but also concepts such as “settlers colonism.” The main difference between Smith and his other kind is that he has been in Congress, a representative of Washington for nearly 30 years. And he has a long mission to persuade other members of his party that they need to change. “This is a project -like four years,” Smith recently told me in his DC office. “The new left wing is a very coordinated and well -organized effort over a series of policies that have failed, and it was difficult to fix it and pay attention to people.”
According to Smith, the main problem of the Democratic Party is that they cannotreless. In a large -scale progressive city, such as Seattle, some of them are located in the Smith district, saying, “There are real problems in crime, homeless, drug abuse, and affordable houses.” Smith attempts to meet various local institutions on these issues, but said he had encountered bureaucratic incompetence and ideology reduction. For example, homeless stations in Seattle, sometimes, have failed to pay for contractors quickly, threatening to go out of business of non -profit providers. Or another example: Smith turned me to the website of the King County Fund Program, which provides a substitute for a young man accused of a crime. “This work is to remove the power from the county and return it to the community, which is the movement to remove the criminal system,” says the site. “This work is to revoke the culture of white hegemony, colonialism, Sith Hetello Patrihaki, and other forms of oppression.” Smith was skeptical: “You are all criminal acts. Pay to be a person in the company called Bonfire Consulting, the person who has committed personal responsibilities, accountability. ” Yeah, I’m literally burning it, “said Smith. “She was a self -identified witch.” As Smith remembered, she said, “She is one of her meetings, the” wrong urgency “is an unhealthy, deadline. It was explained as a criticism of the drive -type workplace culture. Martin Luther King, JR. The replacement has stuck to Smith for an obvious echo of the phrase “current intense urgency” used in the “I have a Dream” speech. (The name “King County” is a praise of MLK, pointed out by Smith.) A consultant said that echo was not intentional.
Smith considers ideology as the propulsion for the Democratic’s rule of rule. As he recently wrote a letter to me, his AOL account said, “If there are too many people in these places, there are too many people in the language of pronouns, and extreme left ideology. It seems to take too much time to push and re -educate the United States of the United States. In his exploration, Smith has recently obtained a copy of the American Cultural Revolution, a conservative activist Christopher Refo. In the book, Rufo claims that the left -wing intellectual has well adopted American cultural institutions and spread racial oppression and steep ideas on hierarchy. After he read it, Smith said, “I am a member of Congress. This man may talk to me. I will find him.” In the latter half of 2023, Rufo and Smith have a zoom call. did. Smith was persuaded at least in Rufo’s dissertation. “Many young people are educated in the left end of seeing the world,” said Smith. RUFO has abolished and implies that racist discrimination, prejudice, and colonialism of the settlers are unique to white, and RUFO is abolished and “Debide from the beam”. Efforts to grow DEI or DEI that started. Smith said. “It is not necessary to imply that all whites are racist discriminatory and all whites are suppressioners.” (Rufo sent me a text message. For many years, I am behind the scenes. I’m happy to see that they have been working with many moderate Democrats.
Nevertheless, Smith immediately distinguishes himself from Rufo. “This is a problem,” he said. “Racial discrimination is something, women hate, the lack of people’s opportunities. As a historical problem, straighten white men have a privilege to our society, and you are just I can’t wake up, “Okay, everything will be fair now.” Smith also talked about how to do it, and all programs and policies related to Diversity, fairness, and inclusions among the recent administrative orders of President Trump. “It’s terrible” to eliminate. “It is just a wide brush that says that all kinds of outreaches to the unreliable community do not occur. I think it will miss talented people.”
This is a Democratic member dilemma like Smith. They may have been strong in the left ideologies culture, but they are also unpleasant for Trump’s program that destroys it from the right. The president has blamed DEI on all kinds of problems in the United States. Last week, Trump suggested that the diversity of diversity in the Federal Aviation Bureau was the cause of the collision after the commerce and the Army helicopter killed the Potomax River at a press conference after 67 people. “The right wing wants to demonstrate a group of specific people,” Smith said. “My frustration is that we are giving them it because we cannot go rule.” Smith opposes the president’s efforts to restrict the medical care of transgender children. He voted against HR 28, a bill that prohibits the participation of a transgender student athlete in girls and women’s sports. “The bill basically said that you must prove your gender to participate in girls and boys’ sports,” Smith said. “Is this the biggest problem we have in the world?” He opposed the Layken Riley law, a recently signed law. This is called for unprecedented immigration arrested or charged with a potentially minor violation, such as shoplifting. “It’s a terrible use of our resources and a terrible policy,” Smith said. “I don’t intend to vote for a terrible policy just to make the left look like I don’t support it.”
But for now, as Smith said, the Democratic Party does not choose to “play on the opposite lawn”. He talked about a recent conference of Congress of Congress. “We had a very long and passionate discussion about all of Trump’s wrong and the help of him, not the average people, but his billionaire,” he said. I said. “We have a message, and we’re going to win, right?” At another meeting immediately after the election, we said, “Everyone is unified for the Democratic Cocas ranking members. Smith was not enough to criticize him as a Donald Trump. Sometimes we must talk about our shortcomings to fix them. “
Smith has identified several allies in the house. People with his prescriptions for the Democratic Party may explain the problem different. He checked Joe Negas in Colorado. (Negas refused comments.) Pat Ryan, a 42 -year -old representative in the Hudson Valley in New York, said to the party that he was “blank.” It has been cut off from the fucking reality. He said, “There is no current language about how to explain this.” Medium and progressive “is not correct. “Liberal and conservatives” are not correct. Is it for people, or are you for élites? I put it in this élite category that focuses on the people you are talking about, focusing on these ivory tower problems. He believes that the way to move forward is a patriot -like populism. “People are part of what they belong to and can be proud, and they want to feel bigger than themselves. We don’t provide it to voters.” Ta. “Focusing love for the country and patriotism must be a big part of the party’s future.”
And Bronx’s Richie Torres. “I am overwhelmingly representing Latin -Americans and African Americans,” he told me. “I have come closer to me,” The House of Representatives, my highest priority, is diversity, fairness, inclusion, critical racial theory, or the sustainability and governance of the environment. ” I personally support all of these programs, but my point is that I don’t think I should run in three letters in three letters, which mean that Democrats are different for different people. We need to reduce costs, reduce crime, and work for labor. “
