WATCH: Ask me anything!

Our readers joined in to talk about why democracy isn't over, and how to build a real party that can fight for people — not just ask for donations

Democracy is under great threat right now, but it’s not over! And please don’t say it is.

I had a great time talking about that and much else in today’s “Ask me anything” session. Thanks for all the great questions.

We talked about many things — refusing self-fulfilling fatalism, refusing fear, who the pro-democracy leaders to watch are, and how the Democratic Party isn’t really a party — it’s a fundraising machine, and we need to build a real party, one that’s where people are, that invites them in, that is present in their lives. We need to revive the machine, but without the corruption.
