A 'new establishment' is needed, digital pioneer says via jonward11
Nicco Mele went from running the groundbreaking online organizing and fundraising efforts for Howard Dean’s 2004 presidential campaign to writing a book warning that the internet was opening the door to “chaos, destabilization, fascism and other ills.”
We are stuck, currently, with a reality where there are “two worlds” existing side by side as it relates to power and influence, Mele said. There is the old institutional world, where hierarchy, experience, expertise and tradition are core values. And there is the new connected world that is tearing down the old, where power and influence are far more diffuse and broadly shared.
He did not come down definitively on one side of the question of whether change in uprooting existing systems and institutions should be radical or gradual. “If the [Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee] had built ActBlue … [Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez] never would have been allowed to raise money on it to challenge an incumbent member of the party leadership,” Mele said.
“I went from a very white professional & personal community to a professional and personal community where I was frequently the only white person in the room,” Mele said. “It really had a profound impact on my view of America and the role that race and immigration play in our cultural fabric and our institutions.”
