Abby Phillip of CNN urged the Democratic Party to abandon "groupthink" and encourage diverse viewpoints to be expressed, particularly in the media and in prestigious institutions like the Ivy League.

"Phillip stated in a Harvard Kennedy School panel that it is possible to produce captivating content that is not suitable, as Mediaite first reported. He added, "We've had some uncomfortable moments occur during our discussions.""

Harvard graduate Phillip stated that elites, particularly those in the Democratic Party, tend to agree on issues during discussions among themselves.

Phillip stated that he has observed that elites tend to only communicate with one another and as a result, they believe that their consensus is widely shared, despite the lack of voices that are confident enough to challenge their views and present alternative perspectives.

If we don't find better ways to uplift diverse voices, we will fall victim to groupthink, she warned.

Phillip mentioned an "activist class" in the Democratic Party as a source of influence.

"Phillip stated that the Democratic Party currently has a multiracial, multiethnic activist class that is diverse but unable to see beyond their activism."

Before President-elect Trump, Republicans were facing the same fundamental issue.

"The issue now is that Democrats are facing a dilemma where they must break free from it," she stated. "This problem is not just about being woke or having a particular perspective. It's about individuals being incentivized to think about issues in a specific way. It's often an all-or-nothing situation, with no room for nuance because activists are paid to stay in their lane. However, most people are not in one lane or another."

"A deeper comprehension of that is necessary, according to Phillip," he stated.

""If people don't have more courage to voice their opinions, it's a real issue, not just limited to the Ivy League, but it's a problem of elitism in general," she said."
