Honesty. Accountability. Leadership. It shouldn't be rare.
Jason,
It's refreshing to see some goddamn leadership.
At a recent town hall stop, Governor Tim Walz said he is doing some "soul searching" about Democrats' loss in 2024.
He admitted that many voters didn't see a difference between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump — and the one big reason for that is because voters think Democrats in power are too timid about taking action to improve peoples' lives.
Governor Walz didn't dodge, deflect, or sugarcoat. He did what too many Democrats refuse to do: take accountability, be honest with people, and focus on actually doing better.
We need more of that.
After the election, I took a hard look at my role.
When I met with President Biden, I should have pushed harder. I should have said what needed to be said — that the voters wanted Biden to step aside far earlier than he did — even if speaking that truth made people uncomfortable.
Too many Democrats played it safe when we should have been listening to young voters, organizing harder, and preparing for the fight ahead.
We can't afford to make the same mistakes again.
That's why Leaders We Deserve is working to elect young, unapologetic progressives who get it — leaders who know what's at stake, listen to their constituents, and have the guts to lead with honesty.
The establishment won't change on its own. We have to compel it.
Let's build the future we deserve, Jason. Will you chip in $5 today to help us elect the next generation of progressive leaders?
