Crashing the Gate lays bare, with passion and precision, how ineffective, incompetent, and antiquated the Democratic Party establishment has become, and how it has failed to adapt and respond to new realities and challenges seized on by the Republican ideologues who are now runningβand ruiningβour country. Written by two of the most popular political bloggers in America, the book hails the new movementβof the netroots, the grassroots, the unorthodox labor unions, the maverick big donorsβthat is the antidote to old-school politics. Fueled by advances in technology and a hunger for a more authentic and populist democracy, this broad-based movement is changing the way political campaigns are waged. Crashing the Gate is an incisive and provocative book from two activists on the front lines, engaged in the battle to take back politics from entitled, entrenched interests.
