Can Democrats turn this mess around? 🔃
No matter what side of the fence you sit on, it’s hard to deny that the last U.S. election was a turning point for the Democratic Party.
What do you do when things go horribly wrong? You probably ask yourself why, and do everything you can not to repeat the same mistakes.
At its heart, this is the purpose of former Obama Speechwriter Jon Favreau’s new podcast The Wilderness: looking back at how the Democratic Party got to this exact moment, and looking forward to the steps needed to ensure it never happens again.
We’re five parts into the 15-part documentary series at this point, and Favreau has already covered the history of the party, Barack Obama’s legacy, the 2016 election loss, how voters think the Democratic party can be fixed, and the challenge of fighting for justice in the face of racism.
So yes, this podcast covers muddy, intense territory very quickly.
Thankfully, policy experts, political strategists, organizers, and simple voters make it more of a conversation than a history lesson or a preaching session. Whether you’re politically passionate, or just curious about the future of U.S., The Wilderness isn’t one to be missed.
Hope you enjoy it.
