Summary

In this fiery episode of Forward, Andrew and Zach dive into the Democratic Party's biggest failures, from leadership gaps to missed media chances, that left voters frustrated and paved the way for Trump’s resurgence. How can the Democratic Party can address its internal fragmentation? Will they learn the consequences of political conformity and careerism in Washington?
