Democratic Senator Acknowledges Party Relies on Divisiveness for Electoral Success
The Struggle for Power: A Social Media Confession
In a revealing moment on social media, Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) expressed a bold strategy for his party’s success. His proposal? To win elections, Democrats should highlight the tension between social classes.
His commentary emerged on a Tuesday, igniting discussions nationwide. Murphy pointed to a new analysis that brought to light a significant insight: most Democratic candidates shy away from addressing the influence of wealth.
Not Just Programs, But a Narrative on Wealth Disparity
Murphy wrote, “A new study showing that 4 out of 5 Democratic candidates don’t talk about billionaire and corporate power.”
The study underscored a concerning trend: the waning support from the working class toward Democrats since 2012. Without hesitation, Murphy suggested that a bold narrative on class conflict could sway these invaluable voters back to the blue side.
He stated firmly, ”Democrats cannot win if we just talk about programs. We need to tell a story — about how the concentration of wealth & power is ruining America.”

Critics were swift in their responses, suggesting that Murphy’s candidness exposed a core strategy of his party: to cultivate and capitalize on divisions between the general populace and the elite.
“It’s Marxism 101. Create an oppressor class, create an oppressed class, and pit them against each other. Democrats have been doing a very good job of it, but Murphy wants even more,” a commentator observed.

(And before anyone types “what about,” I don’t like the Republican populist version of that, either.) https://t.co/Q5XynJ3Y50
