Hey everybody,
Adam Parkhomenko—former DNC National Field Director and Advisor to Hillary Clinton—joined me for a blunt, insightful, and frankly overdue conversation about what Democrats keep getting wrong and how we fix it.
We dove deep into:
Why Democrats can't seem to nail their messaging—and what we can actually learn from Trump's ability to dominate media narratives with controversy and distraction.
Adam’s fascinating journey into politics sparked by opposition to the Iraq War, and the pivotal moment he realized Obama was going to change everything.
Why attention, risk-taking, and crystal-clear narratives (think "fix the damn roads") are the key ingredients Democrats must embrace if we want to win big again.
Adam’s crucial takeaway: Democrats must stop fighting purity battles and start fighting strategic battles—because losing seats to Republicans is far worse than dealing with Democrats you disagree with.
This conversation is about honesty, urgency, and finally breaking the cycle of Democratic complacency.
With urgency,
Mike
