In this energetic dialogue with the co-founders of the Get-Out-the-Vote and electoral organizing groups “Force Multiplier” and “Showing Up for Racial Justice,” we discuss the differences between Centrist Democrats and Progressives and/or “Left” Democrats … and how should we think about the coming election? Plus: the possibility and implications of another Trump Presidency, Project 2025, the impacts of the current war/genocide/ethnic cleansing in Gaza and what is our obligation at this time to getting out the vote? How can we help?
With specific action items and resources, some of which are listed below.
