Democrats may have stumbled on the shutdown, but Simon Rosenberg and Stuart Stevens argue the broader story is one of strength, not surrender. The midterm landslide was a realignment of energy, with voters rejecting Trumpism’s cruelty and chaos by margins unseen in decades. For Stevens, the GOP’s collapse into extremism—defending Nazis, policing language, and alienating allies—shows a party that’s lost the plot and the future. Rosenberg sees opportunity in contrast: a pro-democracy coalition finally learning its own power, rooted in liberty, prosperity, and pluralism. Both men frame the moment as a turning point, not a setback—a test of whether Democrats can lead with confidence instead of caution.
Tune in to this urgent conversation on how to keep the blue wave from becoming a ripple.
