We can and MUST counter the forces that threaten the future of our democracy. [View all]

It’s a Mathematical Certainty: Short-Term Politics Cannot Defeat Long-Term Power
The fight for democracy will not be won in a single election cycle.
Democratic money is structurally optimized for campaigns, while Republican money is structurally optimized for infrastructure.
That imbalance has consequences far beyond a single election cycle, and points to the need for a longer-term Democratic strategy.
In my latest Substack, I outline five major forces coalescing to threaten the future of our democracy that must be addressed:
1️⃣ Reactions to America’s changing demographic and geographic makeup
2️⃣ Different investment strategies between the Right and progressives/Democrats
3️⃣ The Right’s strategic takeover of the courts
4️⃣ A 50-plus-year campaign to control state legislatures
5️⃣ Right-wing narrative dominance
The path forward requires long-term investment, real power building at the state level and a strategy that looks to 2032 and beyond.
