The outcome of the mid-term elections will be determined by what happens in the months ahead—not by how successfully politicians campaign, but rather by the extent to which grassroots resistance makes it impossible for the ruling class to imagine that Trump could continue to advance their interests.

Ultimately, we must show how to defeat their program, not just vote against it.
