Hello from Australia! You won me over with your incisive analysis before the American Mid Terms in 2022. I come from a thriving community of politics bloggers who discuss politics every day online and fret for the future of Democracy. However, we are also active outside of the online world and always looking for strategies we can apply to maintain our Progressive nation going forward into a better future. That's why I will be so interested in following your insights. Happy trails!

Love it. Subscribed and will ask my friends to do so. As a grammar nerd, I have to point out that it's "bigger and more effective than it's ever been," not "bigger and more effective then its ever been."

Yes Simon you found us on Substack and we found you everywhere! Along with Robert Hubbell and Jessica Craven, this is and will be a great place to hang out with like-minded folks who want to use their resources to make a real difference. As a thought leader you can help us figure out where best to spend our time and money. As soon as you open up paid subscriptions I will be there. Best of luck with the new venture and so glad to be here.❤️

Voter registration and engagement by new voters is going to be crucial going forward.

Simon; I'm super happy to be able to support your project here. You've always been so supportive of our work at the Institute that this, given your plan of action, was simply a "no brainer" for me. My wife and I are pleased to be in the position to invest in this and nudge our colleagues to do the same. I look forward to your commentary, insights, our interactions, and working together for the good of democracy everywhere. Cheers!

PS: "Hopium" deserves some sort of leafy trademarked icon ;-)

Not familiar with NDN. I'm a New Dealer who believes we need to introduce something like a New Deal or we will go the way of the Austrian, German or Russian empires and collapse into something worse, except this time there will be no liberal democratic power to pull us out like with the first two. I wrote a book about the crisis I believe this poses and have started a substack which discusses this.

I was a county party chair in Arizona during the 2020 and 2022 election cycles. I discovered your work in June of 2022 and it sustained me the next very difficult months. I look forward to following your next chapter and working to spread your good ideas.

I have been following you since April 2022–and have been sharing your and Tom Bonier’s data/insights, and since November happily sharing all the good news about how #DemsDeliver jobs, growth and progress, in direct contrast to Repubs who only saddle Americans with recessions, deficits, failures and now, fascism.

Great to have you here!
