The Need for Leveraging Political Power

Political power must be utilized effectively to achieve tangible goals, especially within the context of Congress. It is emphasized that members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and the Black Caucus failed to support their colleagues, Congress members Bush and Bowman, who faced significant backlash from dark money groups. For those who seek to influence political landscapes, making specific demands from leadership is essential; merely offering vague support without concrete expectations leads to missed opportunities for change. The speaker insists that without a commitment to bring progressive voices back to Congress, any efforts to unify support against opponents like Trump become hollow.
