Well, I invite any and all members of the national press to come by PDA\u2019S Town Hall this Sunday because there\u2019s nothing uninspired about what we\u2019ll be doing. After all, there\u2019s only one way to save democracy: build a better, more resilient, democracy. That means empowering the middle class, the working class, and poor who make up the majority of society, while diminishing the power of our reprehensible real-life oligarchs, reversing a 35 year trend towards greater concentration of power and wealth in the hands of an unethical de facto ruling class. So, on Sunday, we\u2019ll summarize the many ways that PDA can advance an unabashedly progressive vision for America during a Harris presidency. Imagine. In just a few weeks, we\u2019ll be making a case why the Administration would be wise to embrace our programs \u2013 because they have broad support and will improve our society. Indeed, progressives have no reason to feel uninspired. We believe in our program for America, and we are strong enough inside the Democratic Party, and in society at large, to make sure that progressive policies get a hearing after a Harris\/Walz victory. In stark contrast, nothing remotely promising will happen if we don\u2019t win \u2013 indeed, the exact opposite will be the order of some very, very dark days. Clearly, as people of conscience, we cannot allow ourselves to be wracked with guilt and left wondering \u201dcould I have done more?\u201d Join us on Sunday and you\u2019ll be able answer that question with dignity; and increase the likelihood that in future years we\u2019ll be reuniting to celebrate how together we defeated fascism. Because this Sunday\u2019s Town Hall will be equal measure Inspiration and Mobilization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PDAMERICA \u2022 Streamed live 6 hours ago The latest doomsday narrative in the national media is that Democrats are falling in the polls because their vast progressive base feels uninspired.
