Turf wars and clinging to contracts is out for the Team Democracy. It's time to get back to basics before the season kicks off, because it could be our last.
I’m in! BUT…..where are the marching orders for the worker bees …what should we be doing? Where’s the handbook with the list of steps????? I need to see that!
A fine analysis! Yes, let’s cull this old party for deadwood. Yes, let’s try a strategy for winning.
But, hey—let’s dial in some competence as well. Anyone can be a politician - hiya, Marjorie, how’s tricks? - but what’s missing is an actual ability to do the job.
Generally agree with this, Reed, with one small but significant edit.
In an age of fascism, authoritarianism, Trumpism, or some other nefarious ism, it’s not enough to say “Win elections.”
Winning narrowly won’t eradicate MAGA populism, because narrow wins beget narrow losses and another generation of swing elections + status quo.
My mantra:
“WIN LANDSLIDES.”
Win by landslide numbers for a generation or so.
Set the bar high, brother. Broaden the tent. Deepen base outreach. Disrupt and renew the game. Kick ass with a Generational Movement, a 60% coalition.
Anything less is more of the same
