I cannot overstate enough how much you should read this piece by @ThePlumLineGS on the coming fight for real democracy reform: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
@ThePlumLineGS First he quotes @leedrutman's piece, which you also need to read right now, on why we are potentially poised on the brink of a new reform era: nytimes.com/2019/11/25/opi…
@ThePlumLineGS @leedrutman And pairs that with a crucial, if still somewhat hopeful observation: "ambitious and deep structural democratic reform has now become an absolutely central component of any future Democratic Party agenda."
@ThePlumLineGS @leedrutman I say hopeful because frankly, we don't think we have quite the level of consensus within the Democratic party that's needed yet.
Sure, most folks are for *some* reforms - but we believe that an ambitious, day-one democracy reform agenda is do-or-die. Not everyone agrees.
@ThePlumLineGS @leedrutman Anyways, read it. It pulls together the trends that are causing democracy to break down, and the case for why Democrats MUST respond with structural reform in 2021.
And remember, this won't happen unless voters demand it - which is why we launched savedemocracy.org
