“Democrats have built their entire party structure on polite deference, seniority, and chasing bipartisanship as an outcome, as opposed to elevating the most talented and passionate politicians into roles in which they can make impact..." @meredithshiner.com newrepublic.com/article/1909...

“The authoritarian faction seeks to pick off dissenting voices one at a time, and cross-sector solidarity is the only bulwark against that tactic.” Collective action also requires media like COURIER that reaches Americans who arent reading substacks to engage🇺🇸 www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/the-white-...

One of the most important lessons I hope Democrats/progressives/people who care about democracy learn in the fallout of the election is the urgent, critical need to invest in owning + scaling our own media ecosystem to reach Americans with factual, values-driven, civic news + information.

Platner should step down immediately and let someone else get on the ballot to defeat Collins. The movement he was riding to popularity was never his and absolutely cannot be represented by someone riddled with this many scandals + horrific allegations. The trust is gone- get out.

Both conversations are worth a listen + together, shed light on the debates that are shaping the future of the Democratic Party 🥊🧵👇
