After laying off nearly half its staff, the future of Justice Democrats (and of the American left?) is unclear. Are JD's funding woes the result of a disorganized left? Or is the organization's choice to curry favor from superstars like AOC over grassroots donors the root of its problems? Would adversarial politics damn the Justice Dems, or is that the key to their survival? Marans has covered the left for years -- including sharing a beat with Brie back in the day -- so there's plenty to debate about the trajectory of the left as they've seen it, up close and personal.
