In a special edition of The Realignment podcast, Marshall and Saagar discuss today's ongoing presidential election. They discuss whether the issue of "character" should determine one's vote, what the realignment's framework got right (and wrong), and the prospects for Kamala Harris and Donald Trump on election night.

Timothy Shenk, GWU Professor and author of Left Adrift: What Happened to Liberal Politics, joins The Realignment. Marshall and Timothy discuss how culture has replaced economics as the electorate's dividing line, the multiple paths forward for Democrats after they began to lose working-class voters in the 1980s, why political consultants are more important than one would think, and whether the left or right will come out ahead as the American political system realigns.

Alex Trembath, Deputy Director of the Breakthrough Institute, joins The Realignment. Marshall and Alex discuss the takeaways from Abundance 2024, the case for Ecomodernism, the rise and fall (and rise) of climate policy from An Inconvenient Truth to the Inflation Reduction Act, lessons from the clean energy space for other parts of the Abundance Agenda, and why blue states like California aren’t able to build clean energy, housing, and infrastructure as much as red states like Texas.

This episode's focus on the (lack of) effectiveness of radical climate activism was perfectly timed. Right after Marshall recorded the intro, activists from Climate Defiance stormed the stage of the Abundance 2024 conference he's MCing in DC. They interrupted Matt Yglesias's interview with The Atlantic's Derek Thompson on the "Abundance Agenda" because of Matt's support for fracking. Today's guest is Foreign Policy's Cameron Abadi, author of Climate Radicals: Why Our Environmental Politics Isn't Working. Marshall and Cameron discuss why doom-centric radical activism isn't advancing the environmental policy agenda in Europe, the state of climate politics in the U.S., and the broader debate over whether it is best to work outside or within the system to enact change.

Admiral James Stavridis, former NATO Allied Supreme Commander and author of The Restless Wave: A Novel of the United States Navy, returns to The Realignment. Marshall and Admiral Stavridis discuss how the challenges facing America in the 1930s: debates over isolationism, economic pessimism, and a military establishment in need of reform, mirror those of the 2020s, the differences between writing a novel about the past vs. the near future, the ever-evolving role of the Navy, and why America's WWII legacy is increasingly controversial.

H.W. Brands, Jack S. Blanton Chair in History at the University of Texas at Austin and author of America First: Roosevelt vs. Lindbergh in the Shadow of War, joins The Realignment. Marshall and H.W. discuss the ways that FDR and Charles Lindbergh's debate over American intervention in WWII parallel today's debates over Ukraine and Taiwan, the origins of the phrase "America First," why non-interventionism shouldn't be dismissed out of hand, why FDR won the "great debate" with the America First Committee, even before Pearl Harbor, and how Lindbergh's story offers lessons for humility when approaching politics and war from the outsider's perspective.

Gary Winslett, Chamber of Progress Senior Advisor, Middlebury College Professor, and author of the Democratic Cost-of-Living Agenda, joins The Realignment. Marshall and Gary discuss why voters rank rising costs as their top election concern, how housing, energy, infrastructure, healthcare, and childcare are limited by a lack of supply and rising costs, the case for the abundance agenda and supply-side progressivism, and the increasing bipartisan consensus in favor of reform.
