“Politically, we were incorrect in not addressing the microeconomic feelings and anxieties of the public, because those are the things that many, many, many millions of Americans touched every day where the infrastructure stuff didn’t.” (Landrieu) Landrieu must be one of our fellow Americans who does not live like the vast majority of us live.

The illness Landrieu hopes to diagnose? The illness is our two-party system, which has failed us miserably. The Republican Party has been consumed by the MAGA faction, and the Democratic Party (I'm talking about the Party Structure) is out-of-touch and unrealistic. Those of us who are Independents, Conservative liberals, center and common ground-minded folks, need a party that represents all of us.
