I hope the two wings of the Democratic Party may flap together.

Bryan’s image of “two wings” suggests a party divided into major factions that nonetheless belong to the same political body. His hope that they “may flap together” is a plea for unity and coordinated action—an argument that internal disagreements should not prevent the party from moving in a common direction. The metaphor also implies that a party cannot “fly” (win elections or govern effectively) if one wing is out of sync with the other. In Bryan’s usage, the line reads as both conciliatory and strategic: unity is framed not as ideological surrender but as the practical condition for political momentum and success.
