Two Democratic operatives from different wings of the party hash out what went wrong and where we go from here. Mike Nellis (White Guys for Kamala founder, 20-year Democratic strategist) and Corbin Trent (former AOC comms director, Bernie 2016 organizer) find surprising common ground despite their establishment vs. progressive divide.
From their shared Bernie 2016 origins to their current split on strategy, they tackle:
- Why Democrats keep losing working-class voters
- The $77 trillion healthcare disaster no one's addressing
- Consumer debt crisis: Americans financing groceries with Klarna
- AI's threat to manufacturing jobs (and who will own the robots)
- The Democratic Party's fatal communication problem
- Should we primary Hakeem Jeffries? (They disagree)
- Why primaries make Democrats stronger
- Building a Marshall Plan for America
Key revelations:
- Tennessee had 5/9 Democratic House members when Obama won
- Bottom 80% of Americans spend over 100% of income on essentials
- 50-60% of consumer spending comes from the top 1%
- Half of Congress in 1950s didn't have college degrees
This isn't your typical left vs. center shadowboxing - it's two strategists who want to win having an honest conversation about how.
