In Being Right Is Not Enough, political analyst Paul Waldman offers Democrats and progressives a clear-eyed, multifaceted strategy for victory in elections, policy debates, and the fundamental battle between progressivism and conservatism. The time has come, he says, for progressives to borrow several pages from the right-wing playbook and beat them at their own game. The book outlines an exhaustive list of things progressives must do, and do soon, including: Create a single progressive movement--not a collection of interest groups--devoted to the twin goals of fighting conservatism and advancing a progressive worldviewAgree on a core set of progressive principles and create a progressive master narrative that unifies themUnderstand that political success comes not from the details of policy plans but from the communication of character and valuesStop pandering to the voters who dislike them the most and find new ways to create a lasting majorityDevote themselves not to short-term victories but to a long-term vision of the progressive America they want to create--even if it takes decades to get thereStop worrying about whether the elite media approve of themStop being timid and become warriors for their cause
Waldman provides more than a list of suggestions. He specifies techniques and strategies aimed at increasing the number of progressive commentators and pundits in the media, identifying strengths and weaknesses that should guide progressive strategies in the future, and defining progressive ideology in terms that all Americans will embrace.
Just what the pollster ordered for the Democratic Party, Being Right Is Not Enough provides a hard-hitting, insightful, and pragmatic vision for progressives of every stripe who are tired of losing and ready for victory.
