but they are not the only center-left party in europe facing an uncertain future. rance's socialists were practically wiped out in last year's parliamentary elections. despite being in power during the previous government, the party eked out less than 6 % of the vote. our reporter met with a young socialist in lille who believes he knows where the party's problems lie and is determined to help resolve them. >> lille in northern france has traditionally been a stronghold for france's socialist party. mehdi chalah grew up here. he shows us around the suburb of wattrelos, where his parents still live. like many older residents here, they came from algeria. his mother is a cleaning lady, his father a factory worker. chalah became interested in politics when he was just 15. >> one of my first political acts was to tear down a poster featuring former president nicolas sarkozy. i detested sarkozy. he'd called people here trash that needed to be swept away. so i tore it down. >> he's always opposed making concessions to the conservatives. that goes for his fellow left-winge

party. i think she should take a long vacation and leave the future of the party to other people. h her. in the 20 special elections taken place in 2018 democrats on average have gotten 24 more points than she did. the party of the future is not hillary clinton's party. i get what she wants to keep explaining it. >> chris: to think it's bitterness or sore loser? >> i think it was a hard-fought competition. most people, including most republicans did not think she was going to lose. i won't psychoanalyze why she's given excuses for. there's probably a time and place for that. so i believe your carrier al gore beer. if her goal is to help the party and how to get white working-class men and women it back in the midwest, it's not helpful. >> chris: murray says she should go away, i assume you like her to keep talking until november. >> as well as the democrats have hillary clinton second out the energy in the room, putting up pelosi and schumer it shrinks. it fires up republicans when they hear hillary clinton and nancy pelosi reminds them why they have to fight so hard to get more re

party. i think she should take a long vacation and leave the future of the party to other people. i think the future of the party is not with her and the clearest indication of that is the fact that in the 20 special elections that have taken place so far in 2018, democrats on average have gotten 24 more points than she did. the party of the future is not hillary clinton's party and i get why she wants to keep explaining it but it's not helpful. >> chris: you say you get why she's complaining it. do you think it's bitterness? do you think she's a sore loser. >> i wouldn't use that term. i think this was a hard-fought competition. most people didn't think she was going to lose. i'm not going to analyze why she keeps giving excuses for it. there's probably a time and place for that. but it's not what mitt romney did. it's not what john kerry did. it's not what al gore did. if her goal is to help the party and help us understand how to get white working class men and women back in the midwest, this is not helpful to that cause. >> chris: as marie said, she should go away. i assume you

it they discussed the primary and the future of the democratic party in california. this washington journal interview as part of c-span's 50 capitals tour. he is talking out of both sides of his mouth. host: we are going to have to leave it there and want to introduce you to the chair of the california democratic party. mr. bauman, i am sure you heard that call. i do not think lynn is one of your constituents. but how would you respond to her? guest: i would start off by saying of course she is one of my constituents. the california democratic party cares for every californian, not just in the credits. we believe california is the most welcoming place in america. we believe this is a place where people have the opportunity to have success, to have a good life, and to survive, thrive, and do well. individually, i understand people's complaints. but i will tell you that right now we have the lowest rate of uninsured californians ever in the history of this state, 4.4%.

she is not the future of the party. lamb in his and other democrats that i see winning elections all across the country. and they are doing it by speaking decently to the aspirations that all american family share. >> ed: let's look to the future of the democratic party. conor lamb in the last debate i saw was supporting president trump on the terrace that your party's leadership, nancy pelosi, chuck schumer say are going to be disastrous to the economy. how is he part of the future of your party if he is against -- he says he won't even vote for nancy pelosi for speaker? >> because he's running for a house in the house of representatives. in other words, people that represent their districts come to our house of representatives, come to our congress with different perspectives. conor lamb's perspective is not necessarily that of somebody from silicon valley or new york city. it is a different perspective. he and i disagree on a couple of issues, but on the big issues, whether or not our country has what it takes to mak

party. i think she should take a very long vacation and leave the future of the party to other people. the future of the party is not with her. the clearest indication of that is in the 20 special elections that have taken so far in 2018, democrats have averaged 24 more points than she did. the party of the future is not hillary clinton's party, and i get what she wants to be disappointed in. >> chris: you say she gets -- what's going on here? do you think it's a bitterness? is she a sore loser? >> i think this is a hard-fought competition, and i think most people, including republicans, didn't think she was going to lose. i'm not going to psychoanalyze why she keeps giving excuses for it. there's probably a time and place for that. it's not what matt robinett or john kerry did or al gore did. the goal is to help the party and help them understand how to get white women back in the midwest. this is not helpful to that cause. >> chris: congressman chaffetz chaffetz, i'm assuming you'd like to see hillary clinton talking all the way to november. >> just as long as the democrats have hilla

the social democrats committee on party principles and one of the party's pioneering thinkers today i'm talking to her about the future of germany's oldest political party the s.p.d. welcome to the d.w. interview. thank you for inviting me professor fun does the s.p.d. have a future of course we've very great responsibility and responsibility always has a future. voters see things differently the s.p.d. has continued to lose electoral support it won just twenty point five percent in a september election and it's fairing even worse in the polls eighty percent of the voters see no future and no residence in the s.p.d. are these findings correct. of course they're imperial findings and parties elsewhere in europe are doing even worse. it's due to the huge changes in global political problems social problems which are very hard to quantify politically. basically it's about the people represented by the social democrats and who have an interest in social democracy. and they've suffered in particular from the global economic developments of the last thirty years. there are no easy answers to this situation. indeed the s.p.d

is that the future of democratic party activism? are we seeing that take shape? ld that mean for the future of the democratic party and the future of american politics? i'm going to walk and hopefully not break my -- i'm going to talk about this with our panel. laura bassett, "huffington post," carrie sheffield had, and christina greer, associate professor of political science at fordham university. christine, i'll start with you. when you see that demographic profile, what do you make of that? >> i want to remind everyone we have had lots of protests in the past 15 months. there are lots of americans protesting well before the election of donald trump. they weren't greeted with the same response from the media. they were greeted by thanks and militarized police officers from the u.s. federal government. we have to remember this is also an extension of protest movements that have been seeding the ground for some time. there is a partisan element obviously. there are a lot of democrats who feel incredibly frustrated by the shenanigans and wholly incompetent nature
