The Realignment

543 | Rep. Jake Auchincloss: How Democrats Lost the Battle of Ideas During the Realignment

Episode Summary

Congressman Jake Auchincloss, Representative of Massachusetts's 4th congressional district, returns to The Realignment. Jake and Marshall discuss the abundance agenda and the need to merge populist energy with actual results, why a focus on enhancing state capacity and defending programs like Social Security is compatible with abundance, and the need to reform America's higher education system, the endgame in the war in Ukraine, and the need to rebuild America's foreign policy after the end of the post-war order.
