That would seem to be the case based on a front page Washington Post article with a subhead: "Diverse Ideology Cuts Democratic Edge." The piece is referring to a number of Democrats in the House and Senate who tend to side with the Republicans on many issues.
It could be the case that these Democrats side with Republicans on issues like health care because they have carefully contemplated issues and concluded that the Republicans were right. Of course it is also possible that they side with Republicans on issues like health care because they get lots of campaign contributions from special interest groups like the insurance companies, the pharmaceutical industry, and the A.M.A.
I don't know the answer to this question, but neither does the Post. It might be best if the Post just gave its readers the information and let them decide for themselves rather than asserting that politicians are motivated by their political ideology.
It is worth noting that the views of these Democrats are close to those of the Post (a.k.a. "Fox on 15th). It is of course more desirable for a politician to have their actions attributed to political principle rather than campaign contributions.
I’m writing to you today with a sense of urgency that I haven’t felt since I began my journalism career. As executive editor of The American Prospect, I’ve witnessed firsthand how independent journalism serves as a crucial bulwark against the erosion of our democratic institutions. Today, that role is more vital than ever. Can you step up today and show your support?
The winds of authoritarianism are blowing stronger. We’re seeing alarming signs of a coordinated effort to silence critical voices and undermine the very foundations that support progressive causes. As Bob Kuttner presciently wrote in our August 2024 issue, a weaponized IRS could attack the very foundations of the progressive movement. We need readers to step up and help us dig in for the long haul.
We’re falling behind in our spring fundraising campaign, and with so much at stake we can’t afford to come up short. If you value fearless, independent journalism that holds the powerful accountable and defends democracy, now is the time to step up. The American Prospect depends on reader support to stay in the fight. Pitch in today and help us close the gap. Please consider making a donation today.
