The profound malaise in the United States cannot be addressed, much less solved, by clever campaign strategies and appealing policy ideas alone.
How might American leftists convince our fellow citizens that we understand what has gone wrong in our country and have practical and appealing ideas for how to fix it? Answering this question should be at the heart of our politics, 250 years after the pursuit of happiness was declared a universal right no government could take away.
