The Shadow Cabinet That Could Save America from Billionaire Rule - Thom Hartmann

Democracy may “die in darkness,” but it for sure dies when the opposition party refuses to organize effectively. A shadow cabinet isn’t just smart politics, it’s democracy’s best defense against fascism with a corporate logo.

The time for hand-wringing is over. The time for organized resistance is now. It’s way past time for Democrats to pick up the Shadow Cabinet idea and run with it. - Aired on 05/30/2025.

If the Democrats form a shadow cabinet similar to what is done in the UK, we would have a platform for presenting our policies with a possibility of more media coverage. This idea has been proposed by Tim Walz, Timothy Snyder, Thom Hartmann and Elissa Slotkin. Also, Bill Scher has a recent article about the idea at Politico
