2017: Whither Democrats?

Just listened to the latest This American Life earlier today, and the entire second half is about how the Democrats seem utterly unable to articulate what they stand for. They go through two factions within the party who are advocating opposite approaches: go big on the populist issues no matter how divisive they may be, or focus on key economic issues and try not to rock the boat too much.

The first half is good too, about inefficiency and mismanagement in immigration courts by the current administration. Cross-posted that over in the Immigration Thread.
