There appears to be a disconnect between the party and the base, voters are turning elsewhere—or nowhere at all—and Democratic messaging, in a flooded media landscape, is barely making a dent. Our national divide is no longer just political—it's cultural and institutional. How does the Democratic party respond? What does the party look like in 4 years, and in 40 years? What will it take to revitalize and reenergize the grassroots? Join this future-looking discussion to explore what legacy the party should be looking to build, where up-and-comers and institutional party leaders can come together, and what it means in today's political environment to be a Democrat.
