Ben Wikler, political organizer and former chair of the Wisconsin
Democratic Party, joins Kara to discuss his new book, “This Is the
Plan: How to End America’s Meltdown and Save Democracy.” Drawing on
the grassroots strategies that helped Democrats restore a
competitive democracy in Wisconsin, he lays out a national
plan to defeat Trumpism and halt America’s slide toward
authoritarianism. That starts, he argues, with building a
year-round organizing operation capable of competing in races at
every level of government. They also discuss the Democratic Party’s
internal divisions, the future of the filibuster and structural
reforms including a national popular vote, a national ban on
partisan gerrymandering and Supreme Court term limits. Plus: how
election officials should prepare for President Trump’s attempts to
interfere with the midterms. Questions? Comments? Email us at
