In this Substack Live, David Pakman speaks with Jon Favreau of Crooked Media about the state of the left, the power of independent media, and the road ahead for Democrats. Favreau sees internal arguments on the left as a natural part of such a broad coalition, stressing that unity tends to come easier when a party is out of power and open debate is not the enemy of winning.
The two also look to the future, weighing what it means for Democrats to “fight” in ways that actually deliver results rather than deepen cynicism. Favreau praises the rise of independent media as a lasting force but warns it will only be effective if it stays rigorous and responsible. They close with a sober reminder of growing threats to speech from Trump allies, underscoring the need for solidarity among independent voices.
