“This started with Barack Obama,” said Jamal Simmons, a Democratic strategist and a former contributor to Hill.TV. “It’s clear over the last 10 years, new people have come into the process, new infrastructure is supporting them, and barriers to entry are falling.”
Voters are turning to outsider candidates to run their cities in a political earthquake that has ousted incumbents and shattered expectations across the country.

A 4% Black participation rate in America’s leadership cohort is not diverse enough to successfully tackle systemic racism. Putting the right rules in place is important. But having the right rule-makers is critical.

Give or take a point, the Black inclusion rate in America's leadership cohort clusters around 4% across sectors -- academia, law, publishing, tech, Fortune 500 c-suites, boards, venture capital, the military.
Our 50+ year integration strategy has failed to disrupt the leadership class and we have to move faster to change things. Staged Integration is one way to fix it. (Read More)
In nearly every sector, Black inclusion stalls at around 4 percent. That’s not enough. Here’s how to do better.
My latest: Many corporate leaders may secretly agree with the “Trumpy” politics of white grievance, but the business case is clear: Stand up for democracy or face the wrath of consumers, investors and historical judgment.
Corporate leaders are standing up for democracy to avoid facing the wrath of consumers, investors and historical judgment.

My column: "There are still pro-democracy conservatives, and America needs them to be constructive and not succumb to anti-Biden reflexes. Some of these conservatives left their party and aligned with President Biden in the 2020 election. But it is the pro-democracy conservatives who still call themselves Republicans who bear the biggest burden to save our republic. If they become an anti-Biden caucus, angling for short-term advantage in the 2022 midterms or the 2024 presidential election, the Republican Party — and perhaps the entire American political experiment — could be doomed."
With Trump gone from Washington, Republicans must be constructive and not succumb to anti-Biden reflexes.

dropping science. It’s time to move on to an inclusive democracy.
The organizing principle of Republican politics hasn't changed in 50 years.
If Americans want the same standard of living and social benefits, we're going to have to figure out how to compensate people well for new work arrangements. We can't go back to 1930s ideas for a new millennium world.
New SEC rules could allow gig companies to give equity to workers as part of compensation.
"The Trump administration presented one view of America to the world. President-elect Biden’s choices to date suggest another: a confident nation drawing upon its diverse citizenry to find talented, pragmatic, and passionate individuals ready to lead and serve."
Joe Biden's nominee for Treasury secretary would immediately command respect around the world. She's the choice for this moment.
The more I watch drag the nation through this mess, the more respect I have for — and he actually won more votes.
"It's been a long time coming to have an African-American at the podium full time speaking on behalf of the country," said Jamal Simmons, a Democratic strategist and CBS political commentator. "We were on the verge of that happening during the Obama administration and it would be another forward-leaning move by Joe Biden to appoint a Black press secretary."
Two of the top choices to fill the high-profile position of press secretary in President-elect Joe Biden's administration are Black women, spotlighting for Democrats and activists how significant it would be for the White House to have its first African-American press secretary.
The left-right axis in our politics matters, but the outsiders versus insiders axis matters more.
For more than 15 years, while working for political leaders and building a startup focused on connecting diverse youth to tech opportunities, I heard Americans complain about feeling disconnected from the decision-makers and policies that promised to help them. They’ve seen manufacturing jobs disappear, low-wage service work pop up to replace them, and dug themselves deeper into debt, trying to keep up. These aren’t just Donald Trump voters. Many of these Americans live in communities like the one where I grew up on the west side of Detroit, where presidencies have come and gone while drugs, crime and low wages stuck around decade after decade. America needs to keep these disaffected voters invested in the system and lower the risk that they’ll become enthralled by conspiracies or militant movements.
Many Americans feel disconnected from decision-makers and policies that promised to help them.

Here's a mind-bender. Biden's gonna win, but it's not because white women or people of color abandoned him. It's because white MEN defected.
We don’t yet know who won the presidency, but we have an idea of how voters changed this cycle.
Sometimes you fight fire with water and sometimes -- as Cory Booker used to say -- you fight fire with water. Either way, don't leave the fight up to the lawyers. It will take all of us to stop Trump from trying to steal the election if it's close.
If chaos erupts, Democrats must mount a fight for control of the narrative online, on camera and in the streets.
My neighbors idea of the scariest decoration they could imagine.

The most important political story of the day. Don't let the polls get you fooled. Non-college white enthusiasm + lower Biden enthusiasm + voter suppression = Trump not done yet.
With President Trump trailing Joseph R. Biden Jr. in Pennsylvania in nearly every poll, his last refuge and perhaps best hope is to maximize the turnout of working-class white voters.
