!!!! First day of our new podcast, America Actually (w/ Astead Herndon). It's going to be about the upcoming elections and America's road to a post-Trump future. But as we got started I wanted to write something about why I landed on that theme and what I saw as the our mission in a landscape of a lot of media choices

We should say it: candidacies like Graham Platner in Maine or Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan have not grown in spite of establishment targeting, but somewhat because of it. Base anger after 2024 is palpable. And some Democrats want not just an elected who will oppose Trump and Republicans, but one who will also change their own party from within.

Base Democrats are angry with party leadership, and the goal of retaking Congress doesn’t change that. They also want to change their party From a day with Indivisible organizers and local candidates in Virginia:

On Graham Platner: — The accumulation of scandals have turned this race from a contest about Susan Collins/Trump to a referendum on her challenger. Probably a worse place for Dems to be in an already tough race — Would urge caution on “he’s done” takes, pain tolerance in electorate for an outsider candidate is high — I don’t think moderates get an “I Told You So” in this race. If Platner is a bad candidate, only reinforces how DSCC/Janet Mills operation was even weaker With @ErinBurnett on @OutfrontCNN

Democrats call to "save Democracy" flopped in 2024. But the realities of Trump's second term only reinforced the urgency of the message. I don't think the problem was that no one cared. But don't vow to protect a system most people already feel written out of. "Save democracy" maintains a broken status quo. Improving it is urgent New piece w/ @AmyEWalter @voxdotcom @voxmedia

3/ Reforms alone don't fix it. California has run the wish list and it hasn't exactly worked. If the incentives reward the loudest people in the room over the ones actually governing, no ballot design can save you.

So much of the current frustration roiling the Democratic base feels like its connected to a feeling of powerlessness. Powerless against Trump. Ignored by their own party leaders. Powerless in a society and economy getting upended by A.I. From Southern New Jersey:
