A Power Agenda for the Democratic Party in Post-Policy America

Part I: OVERVIEW

The Democrats path back to power is simple: Ride the anti-incumbent wave that carried them out of power in 2024. But what they do next is what matters.

Part II: MYTHS AND FACTS

Policy matters less because party, tribalism, and anti-incumbency rule modern American elections.

PART III: PROGNOSES

E

We believe that Democrats have become far too inured to a political system and set of political norms that block progress, hobble genuine policy change, and embolden Republicans to oppose every Democratic policy proposal, secure in the knowledge that thermostatic public opinion will soon return them to power.

Democrats must instead adopt a Power Agenda that is focused on transforming the political system, leveling the political playing field, and securing sustained Democratic Party dominance. If Democrats can find their way back to power – and we believe they can and will – they need to wield that power ruthlessly and unapologetically.
