The Window of Discussion, E8: On Offense For Grounded Morals

Banner & Backbone and Centered America are asking the needed questions — “how come we can’t” and “why shouldn’t we” — it’s time for bold values without the toxic labels dividing us.

Show Notes

Today was one of the most important discussions our panel has had on The Window of Discussion — the Banner & Backbone Media team — Nick Paro and Shane Yirak — with the Centered America team — Sharad Swaney — and our colleague from Lincoln SquareEvan Fields — dive deep into the important discussion of grounding our morals, forming coalitions, shedding toxic labels, breaking the 2-party monopoly, and how we boldly approach solutions without right-wing framing.

Our discussion covers:

  • Regressive vs Conservative — how we go on offense by defining the narrative, creating impactful labels, and mix strategy with authenticity.

  • Marjorie Taylor Greene — how do you approach the enemy of your enemy, what does trust look like and how is it earned?

  • Adam Kinzinger and Joe Walsh — the impact they have in our discussions, the work they have done to re-gain and create trust, are they truly “conservatives” or can they create something new that people can rally behind?

  • Party Alignments — are these legacy parties holding us back, why can’t we have 3rd or 4th or even 5th parties?

  • And, flipping the conversations by asking “how do we” and “why shouldn’t we” — rather than being told we can’t.
