TIME: Facing 4 More Years of Trump, Democrats Can’t Agree on a Plan
Conversations with two dozen Democratic sources reveal a party still struggling to figure out how they found themselves losing the White House and Senate and stuck in the minority in the House.
Prescriptions for a comeback abound: A more inclusive message, not just what plays well among activists and on college campuses. More spending on state parties and less on D.C.-based consultants. Serious investments in a progressive media ecosystem to rival the conservative one. A foreign policy that is as easy to explain as Republicans’ tried-and-true “Peace Through Strength.” Better polling. Less fear-mongering about the end of democracy. More podcasts.
Democratic strategist and ROKK Co-Founder Rodell Mollineau spoke with TIME about Democrats’ plan for the next 4 years and how to learn from last year.
