Welcome to Episode 253 of KK&F, where we’re talking with Usamah Andradi and Geoff Simpson of Justice Democrats about how to remake the Democratic Party to serve the interests of the American people! Justice Democrats have provided essential support to grassroots progressives as they run up against the status quo in national and local elections. Andradi and Simpson help us think about how Democrats can answer a moment of profound weakness in the Democratic Party, as Trump totally fumbles his support among the MAGA base but Democrats fail to act as an opposition party. With the kind of failure of leadership that people like Schumer showed by capitulating during the shutdown, it’s only natural that American voters are looking for something else.

We talk to Andradi and Simpson about how Trump’s failures in office call for Democratic leadership, why the old guard isn’t meeting the moment, and what we can do about it. You can listen to this conversation as a podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other streaming platforms.
