Building a successful democratic coalition requires moving away from the belief that one must force others to agree and toward a model of compromise where members identify shared interests.

“We're great at this is what I want. How do I force everybody else to agree with me? But if you're going to build a coalition, you need to figure out, okay, what do I want? What do they want? How do we come together?”

Democratic leaders should engage with diverse ideological segments of their potential base, including those skeptical of foreign wars, rather than excluding critics to maintain a narrow, centrist coal

“Democrats should be begging Joe Rogan or Theo or whoever to have them on right now. They should be on manosphere shows being like I told you this was stupid. I didn't want to do this. This war is dumb. Our relationship with Israel is too tight.”
