Start Making Sense: Turning the Lessons of Election 2004 into Winning Progressive Politics

Start Making Sense: Turning the Lessons of Election 2004 into Winning Progressive Politics is one of the best books on progressive electoral strategy I’ve read in a long time. I bought it shortly after it came out, and I’ve read it several time since. My copy is literally littered with notes and pencil markings.

It has key insights into what progressives - not just electoral campaigns but also grassroots political, union, and nonprofit organizers - can and should be doing around issues of organizing, language, media, education, and power building. We can all learn a lot from this book. We should read, study and engage with it.

Enjoy!
