In today’s episode, host Jaye Pool analyzes how the Third Way of the Democratic Party and the Religious Right, aligned with the Republican Party, have led to a fractured, broken political system and democracy in peril. Delving into the histories of both movements that span several decades, Jaye argues that while these movements are different ideologically, both are rooted in a common choice to compromise on core values.

In this first episode, Jaye Pool discusses the “Third Way” movement towards more conservative governance from the Democratic Party beginning in the 1990s, and how that movement led to Donald Trump’s win (and Hillary Clinton’s loss) in the 2016 US presidential election. Jaye also talks about the way forward so that the Democrats can get back in touch with what made them successful historically – and the American left can regain their voice.
