If, given the magnitude of the crisis we face, Democratic members of the House and Senate can't even coordinate to sign onto and release a joint Declaration listing Trump's abuses and usurpations and stating their commitment to a set of shared values... how the hell can they expect anyone to believe they can stand together to right those wrongs and enact the sort of transformative reform that we should have achieved decades ago?
We may be a diverse mess as a party, but I'll take that over the unified dittoheads (now trumpublicans).

Michelle Martin with Charles Duhigg

Charles Duhigg
Writer, The New Yorker
What might Democrats learn from the MAGA movement? This is the question Charles Duhigg asks in his latest piece for The New Yorker. Duhigg argues that recent right-leaning movements have thrived by building local networks with lasting community impacts, whereas Democrats have tended to focus on large, flashy shows of force that have failed to produce durable impacts. Duhigg joins the show to explain what he believes it would take for the left to build broader, more resilient coalitions.
Thanks for the discussion, W_HAMILTON.
