Marshall and Timothy discuss how culture has replaced economics as the electorate's dividing line, the multiple paths forward for Democrats after they began to lose working-class voters in the 1980s, why political consultants are more important than one would think, and whether the left or right will come out ahead as the American political system realigns.

Marshall and Alex discuss the takeaways from Abundance 2024, the case for Ecomodernism, the rise and fall (and rise) of climate policy from An Inconvenient Truth to the Inflation Reduction Act, lessons from the clean energy space for other parts of the Abundance Agenda, and why blue states like California aren’t able to build clean energy, housing, and infrastructure as much as red states like Texas.

Right after Marshall recorded the intro, activists from Climate Defiance stormed the stage of the Abundance 2024 conference he's MCing in DC. They interrupted Matt Yglesias's interview with The Atlantic's Derek Thompson on the "Abundance Agenda" because of Matt's support for fracking. Today's guest is Foreign Policy's Cameron Abadi, author of Climate Radicals: Why Our Environmental Politics Isn't Working. Marshall and Cameron discuss why doom-centric radical activism isn't advancing the environmental policy agenda in Europe, the state of climate politics in the U.S., and the broader debate over whether it is best to work outside or within the system to enact change.

Marshall and Admiral Stavridis discuss how the challenges facing America in the 1930s: debates over isolationism, economic pessimism, and a military establishment in need of reform, mirror those of the 2020s, the differences between writing a novel about the past vs. the near future, the ever-evolving role of the Navy, and why America's WWII legacy is increasingly controversial.

Brands, Jack S. Blanton Chair in History at the University of Texas at Austin and author of America First: Roosevelt vs. Lindbergh in the Shadow of War, joins The Realignment. Marshall and H.W. discuss the ways that FDR and Charles Lindbergh's debate over American intervention in WWII parallel today's debates over Ukraine and Taiwan, the origins of the phrase "America First," why non-interventionism shouldn't be dismissed out of hand, why FDR won the "great debate" with the America First Committee, even before Pearl Harbor, and how Lindbergh's story offers lessons for humility when approaching politics and war from the outsider's perspective.

Thanks for clarifying the Lincoln logo. The logos for the Lincoln Project and the Lincoln Network are so similar that at first glance it was confusing and created apprehension.

so so so wrong on this drug crisis. the CDC made up the opioid crisis. Please read twitter accounts from these two doctors. Dr. Thomas Kline has videos that take you step by step on YouTube, but the highlights are: the OD problem is fentanyl in illegal heroin. But the CDC is trying to control heroin OD by cutting opioid meds to chronic pain patients like me. The Twitter accounts of these two Docs are the men who can set out the ACTUAL facts @thomasklinemd and @danlairdmd. Opioid meds are not like meth or coke. They addict only through a genetic mutation. Heroin addiction rate is consistent for the thousands of years that opioids have been used. The problem is that millions of chronic pain patients are being thrown off their meds for no medical reason. The problem is NOT from doctors or chronic pain patients. We are throwing people who are in severe pain out on the streets or unfortunately to commit suicide. The suicide spikes are where the opioid fight has been the most intense. So Cri
