Summary
Trump is going, but why did he arise in the first place? What do Democrats need to learn from him? And how can we make a democracy that works for everyone? Indivisible's Megan Hatcher-Mays joins Thom on how Democrats need to represent Progressive positions which most Americans already agree with, and not allow Republican propaganda to dominate the conversation.

| 1:20.8 | mob bosses do, trashing people who dare to speak up or have an independent thought the way mob bosses do, |
