In the four years that passed after the Party's leaders, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, fell away, 'the damaging cycle of rot and convulsion that Democrats seem unable to break out of' continued to plague the party in the face of the rise of Trumpism, even after a historic midterm win. Never before had it had presidential candidates as disparate as Sanders, Biden, Buttigieg, Warren, and Bloomberg. Never before had the standard campaign playbook been thrown quite so far out the window, especially after the appearance of COVID in the winter of 2020. Behind Edward-Isaac Dovere's fly-on-the-wall account of this period is a critical look at Democrats' search for a message and an identity, the energy gathering for more progressive policies, shifting geographic and demographic voting trends, and the recalibration of what the party stands for.
