New newsletter! Since we can’t know what it Means For The Election, let’s instead think through where Democrats’ inability to reform the filibuster and pass democracy reform in a post-Trump, Big Lie world leaves us, in historical context. mailchi.mp/crooked.com/bi… 
The Freedom to Vote Act wouldn’t have fixed everything—not nearly. But its failure means Dems’ procedural radicalization will have to *accelerate*. That’s why the calls for them to curb their ambitions now are misguided. A timid party can not fix this. crooked.us19.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=88…
And that’s exactly why episodes of timidity these past 5 years have been so excruciating. The only way to tear down the autocratic system Republicans have built for themselves is hard-nosed partisanship, but today’s Dems still cling to narcotizing myths about what the GOP is.
I hope you enjoyed this uplifting TED Talk.
I may be biased for reasons that will be obvious when you click through, but this @Perrybaconjr piece is really good companion reading. Looking forward to the sequel he teased at the end. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…
This, in microcosm, is what today’s newsletter is about.
