As the 2022 midterm elections approach, the American political system is in crisis like never before.
Republicans, increasingly the national minority, are on the precipice of destroying our democracy in order to consolidate power. The Democratic Party establishment, in turn, has abandoned the progressive roots of the party and allowed corporate power to flourish and economic inequality to deepen, standing by as the middle class has been completely hollowed out.
As Prospect co-founder Robert Kuttner predicted in his new book GOING BIG: FDR’s Legacy, Biden’s New Deal, and the Struggle to Save Democracy, "Joe Biden’s presidency will be either a historic pivot back to New Deal economics and forward to energized democracy, or a heartbreaking interregnum between two bouts of deepening
American fascism. We are facing the most momentous threat to the American republic since the Civil War."
At the Prospect, we are committed to educating our readership about threats to our democracy in Washington and beyond, but we can’t do it without the help of our readers. That’s why, to show our thanks, we’re giving away FREE signed copies of GOING BIG to the first ten people who sign up today for an annual Politics or Power membership!
