Why and How Democrats Must Deliver. Conversation with Sue Altman
About this episode
Sue Altman discusses the need for the Democratic Party to adopt a proactive vision amidst uncertainty.
In this episode Sue Altman discusses the fundamental question: in a moment of deep uncertainty, can the Democratic Party move from reactive defense to a proactive vision that genuinely changes lives? We touched on reimagining transit as a catalyst of economic independence and how cleaning up underutilized industrial sites could help our housing crisis. I learned about Sue's skepticism of Big Tech and especially its role in the classroom. We covered the collision between democracy and the economic interests of the political donor class. Sue is proposing that to lead, the party must have the courage to challenge inaction and provide the people with a tangible reason to believe in the future.
