"You have to invite people, and let them come imperfect." @wingedisis said that, and I'll never forget it.
(@jonathansmucker also wrote a very good book with a similar conclusion that I highly recommend.)
Also, listen to @KnowYrEnemyPod, it's one of my faves. 👍 @SamAdlerBell
“Politics is not a clubhouse. Politics is messy. It is meeting everyday people where they are… It’s not being the enlightened super‑woke people together, learning a special vocabulary, shaking our heads & wagging our finger at all these backward people…” https://t.co/S0hEkDRvGw
Progressives write off Republican-leaning counties across America to their own detriment. With working-class candidates, populist messaging, and effective organization, we can make major inroads in “Trump country” that will pay dividends for years to come. https://t.co/mCxP2HwSaL
With an inclusive populist message, the Left can win over independents and even some registered Republicans, who many in the Democratic Party instinctively write off. https://t.co/mCxP2HfgMb
We enjoyed talking with @jonathansmucker about the left's resurgence in recent years, how it can overcome its dysfunctional behaviors and why it needs to be serious about contesting for power.

I’m like a broken record on this: it’s not enough to just have an analysis of the objective situation; learn relevant skills to help build the capacity that we need to outmaneuver the establishment.

everyone has a place in the movement.
Who wants to do a Hegemony How-To book discussion group? Also workshopping two chapters from my forthcoming book (F*ckers at the Top). Details and application here: https://t.co/BXHQx3hklQ
Stoked! Hegemony How-To was super influential for me and I've suggested it to anyone who cared to listen. Excited to do the same for this one. Congrats @jonathansmucker!
