Transactional politics requires us to be pragmatic about current realities and the state of public opinion. It's all about getting the best result possible given the circumstances here and now.
From Eric Schneiderman
Transformational politics requires us to challenge the way people think about issues, opening their minds to better possibilities.
In 1980, a young Senator Al Gore held the first Congressional hearings on global warming.
Very few checklist liberals will focus on transformational work if they are rewarded or punished only for their transactional work.
In a system that disproportionately harms poor people and people of color, too many Americans have lost faith in the essential American principle of equal justice under law.
We must never stop fighting for a vision of American democracy in which we strive for and encourage the highest levels of voter turnout and participation.
I have the highest possible regard for the district attorneys in the State of New York.
When the trust between the police and the communities they serve breaks down, everyone is at risk.
New Yorkers must be able to trust the men and women of the NYPD. They must come forward to report crimes. And they must come forward as witnesses.
Here in New York, we are already seeing how climate change contributes to increasingly violent and extreme weather that has cost us dearly, in both damage and in lives.
