Hey folks,
This one turned into one of the most honest conversations we’ve had in a while. David Hogg joined me to unpack what the New York primaries actually mean, where Democrats are getting it right, where we’re still getting it wrong, and why competition inside the party isn’t something to fear—it’s something we should embrace. We got into the hard questions. The messy ones. The debates a lot of people are afraid to have in public.
Here’s what we got into:
[00:01:07] David breaks down the New York primary results, why voters are demanding something new, and what the victories say about the future of Democratic politics.
[00:07:16] We debate whether challenging Democratic incumbents ultimately strengthens the party—and why internal competition might be exactly what’s needed before November.
[00:14:16] We tackle the controversy surrounding Daria Lisa, discuss political litmus tests, and wrestle with where Democrats should draw the line.
[00:20:00] David explains why Leaders We Deserve is investing in young candidates at the state level and why experience still matters when building lasting political power.
[00:29:00] We close with what Democrats need to offer voters beyond simply opposing Trump—and why hope, organizing, and anti-corruption have to become the party’s defining message.
The fights happening inside the Democratic Party right now are shaping what comes next—not just in one city, but across the country. We talk about generational change, accountability, organizing, and what it really takes to earn voters' trust. If you care about where this movement goes from here, this is a conversation worth watching. And if you want more conversations like it, becoming a paid subscriber helps make them possible.
