#52 Talking with reform activist Sam Rosenthal about How Democrats lost in 2024 and what is to be done

from Talking Strategy, Making History · host Richard Flacks

#52 Talking with Democratic Party reformer Sam Rosenthal about how the Democrats lost in 2024 and what is to be done. Sam Rosenthal is political director of Roots Action, whose autopsy of the 2024 election offers a springboard for creating a strategy to change the party. Sam has, as well, been a national leader in DSA's eletoral activity. We're all preoccupied with the Venezuela situation (which happened the day after Daraka and Dick talked with Sam) but that increases the urgency for devising effective political strategy--and this episode is of use for that end. The Roots Action report is at Autopsy-The-Democratic-Party-In-Crisis.pdfSam's band "Personal Spaces" has several records out and can be heard on Apple Music, etc. We concluded the episode with one of the tracks.
