We are we the pendulum swings in American politics.
But what the right does is when it swings their way, they catch it and they grab it and they don't want to let it go.
And you need to electrify the pendulum so that you cannot grab the thing and stop it from moving.
Were you ever a magician?
I think I saw the pendulum.
What I lay out in the book is step by step.
It starts at the end of the book.
There's a chapter called This is the Plan that ties together all the pieces.
The first part of the This is the Plan's plan is this week, every Tuesday, there's an election somewhere.
And most of those elections have no volunteers across the country.
They have no people chipping in $27 from wherever.
Nobody gets involved.
A lot of them are unopposed.
A lot of them are unopposed.
But if you look around and find the races that actually start a row of dominoes that can affect
future legislation around gerrymandering or affect money and politics in a state where people like Elon Musk want to waltz in and take over everything, then getting involved in a mayor's race here, a county recorder's race here can have a huge effect.
But it goes from that step, something any of us can do, where the margins of victory are often sometimes a single vote.
And I list some of those races in the book.
It goes all the way to then 26.
We win in states.
