Today, Jay!, Amanda, Deon, and Erin discuss:
- Shifting the way we think and talk about the benefits of peaceful nonviolence at anti-fascist protests
- The unlimited patience for capitalism vs. the knee-jerk “Impossible!” for left-wing ideas
- The centrists Democrats (and their consultants) missing the forest for the trees
- An antidote to decades of neoliberal approaches to policy (and we reject Ezra Klein’s “Abundance”)
