Lead, Fight, or Get Out of the Way: Americans are ready for change
from On Democracy with FPWellman · host Fred Wellman
We are deep into the primary season and Democrats are showing up in record setting numbers across the country. A whole new crop of newcomers are running for seats in the House and Senate with many truly being outsiders like never before. Graham Platner has confounded the traditional political punditry and party structure along with many more who defy the supposed rules of the game. Fred sits down with Corbin Trent the leader of A Fight Worth Having to discuss Platner’s rise, the issues American’s want solved and the path ahead this election cycle. Trent is a former Director of Communications for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a co-founder of Justice Democrats, and a two-time presidential campaign staffer for Bernie Sanders. He helped recruit and elect a generation of progressive challengers, build the Green New Deal, and push Medicare for All into the political mainstream. Today he writes America's Undoing and runs A Fight Worth Having — a Super PAC making the case that the Democratic Party's establishment has run out of ideas, courage, and capacity to meet the moment, and that the work of rebuilding it starts with telling the truth in public.
