David warns Democrats that if they don't exercise caution with candidate selection, they risk losing winnable races in the 2026 midterm elections.
Then, David is joined by Shannon Watts, the founder of Moms Demand Action, to discuss the increasing hostility toward women manifesting itself in the progressive wing of the Democratic Party. David and Shannon discuss misogyny on the left and right wings of American politics, increasing voter rancor to the perceived “establishment,” and the possibility of a “tea party” movement brewing on the left.
Finally, David discusses “Killing Baby Hitler” by Michael Tomasky and the dangers of “alternative history” as an intellectual exercise.
