Democrats have an identity crisis. We try to solve it.

Somehow we’re losing the message war, even when MAGA is building concentration camps.

What do Democrats really stand for? Why can’t they reach people—even when their ideas are popular? And how can they fix their identity crisis before it’s too late? We do what democratic leadership seemingly refuses to do: try to answer these questions.

We dig into:

  • Why the left feels risk-averse, reactive, and undefined

  • How we got bogged down by “purity tests”, forcing us to constantly walk on eggshells

  • The economic case progressives never bother to make

Along the way:

  • Kris introduces “bike-shedding” as the killer of urgency

  • Tim rails against federal bureaucracy burnout

  • Luke delivers a blistering “get fucked” to Trump—and to donor-class messaging paralysis

This was the branding workshop that democratic leadership needs to prioritize (but hasn’t yet). So, until they do, we’ll keep the conversation going ourselves.
