"The entire Searchlight Institute website is a case study in exerting expert control. They declare, “We are here to power the next realignment,” promise to promote “supermajority thinking,” and even go so far as to label their project “heterodox.” I’ll go through each of these."
Good essay and I agree with you. All I've got to add is I read the above mission statement and thought, "Well, there's some real corporate bullshit right there". There is absolutely nothing of substance in that statement. It does nothing to address the real-world problems of the everyday people who are the Democratic Party's traditional constituents.
Real people read that and think as I do, "what does that even mean"? How do you power a realignment? Anyway, I'm not too much into political theory. I'm just trying to survive being a Democrat in Greg Abbott and Ken Paxton's Texas. They have declared war on Democrats, you know. But, I'm glad a bunch of rich people are powering their realignments.
