PDA in Print: Our Democracy Is in Peril, But Progressives Are Poised to Lead Its Revival

Our Democracy Is in Peril, But Progressives Are Poised to Lead Its Revival

 

In my new article, just posted on Commondreams I make an argument that only progressives are well-positioned to lead the rejuvination of the Democratic Party and, in the process, of  American democracy itself.

The article is entitled Our Democracy Is in Peril, But Progressives Are Poised to Lead Its Revival | Common Dreams

Please read the article and share it with your family, friends, co-workers and anyone you engage with on social media.

The article begins:

Let us not talk falsely now / The hour is getting late – Bob Dylan, All Along the Watchtower

We can have no illusions. There’s a reason the word “oligarchy” has been trending.

After only one week of U.S. President Donald Trump’s second administration, the idea of America as an open society where the people are sovereign is under serious threat.

So, what is to be done?

It’s time for progressives to step up. If we truly believe, as I know we do, that progressives have the best policies for improving the lives of Americans, protecting the planet, and making peace with the world, we cannot sit on the sidelines anymore, bemoan our marginalization at the hands of moderate Democrats, and merely congratulate ourselves for having the correct analysis. We need to get in the game, en masse.

Progressives are the last best hope for democracy in America.
