Get This Party Started: How Progressives Can Fight Back and Win

by Matthew Robert Kerbel (Contributor), Howard Dean (Foreword), Alan I. Abramowitz (Contributor)

Progressives and Democrats have done a good job of soldiering on after the devastating losses of 2000, 2002, and 2004, but the impassioned discussion of what to do next has had a fragmented quality―until now. Get This Party How Progressives Can Fight Back and Win brings together thirteen leading Beltway and grassroots progressive voices for an integrated discussion of the electoral, message, and organizational strategies that Democrats should pursue to return to power and establish a lasting progressive governing coalition. We are at a juncture in history when voters could be open to a progressive message that is thoughtfully developed and carefully delivered―and this book offers a blueprint for how to get there.
