Ritz on The Gist: Ben Ritz on Slopulism and the Democrats’ 2024 Lesson

  • March 25, 2026
  • Ben Ritz

Ben Ritz, of the Progressive Policy Institute, joins to discuss his Atlantic piece, “Democrats Learned the Wrong Lesson From 2024,” and his argument that the party is drifting toward “slopulism.” He explains why half-baked promises on taxes, deficits, and affordability may be politically tempting but fiscally hollow. Plus, Iran’s reported response to a U.S. peace framework demands not just an end to hostilities but guarantees that war cannot simply be resumed under another name.
