Lecture Topics
- Chapter 3: "The Mathematics of Political Change" — the 2% thesis in detail
- The "voting booth trap": the argument that showing up on Election Day is the last step, not the first, and that the candidate pipeline is controlled upstream by parties, donors, and consultants
- The book's critique of "vote harder" as a strategy: why increasing turnout without changing candidate selection does not change outcomes
- Chapter 4: "A Lifetime of Standing for Others" — the author's biography as a veteran and the book's origin in personal experience of institutional betrayal
- The relationship between personal narrative and political argument in movement-building texts
Reflect & Discuss
The 2% claim: if 3.4 million workers organized across congressional districts could shift American politics, what evidence supports or undermines this? Compare to historical analogues: the Tea Party (approximately 2.7 million active participants at peak), the NRA (approximately 5 million members), the AARP (approximately 38 million members). What did these movements actually achieve, and what does that suggest about the feasibility of the book's strategy?
