Introduction : Because you can't get there on your own -- The politics we want -- Letting go of the bear and picking up the buddha -- Creating coalitions you actually want to join -- Shedding the heavy mantle of victimhood -- Making friends -- Letting go of outcomes -- Getting back to our shared values -- Naming our interests -- The third way -- And, not but -- Keeping the team together
Shares how we can put together broad-based coalitions that advance the progressive agenda rather than simply make us feel good about the purity of our ideals. This book argues that we must let go of our preconceived notions about who our opponents are, how they think, and what specific outcomes we're aiming for
