Over 20 years ago I wrote a series of articles discussing how the right has a policy development and promotion infrastructure that is unlike anything the left has. This gives the right an incredible advantage. And it's had that advantage for over 50 years. The left must develop a similar infrastructure that can function as powerfully and effectively as the right. We can do it and we can do it differently and better.

Then the Center for American Progress (CAP) was formed and I thought that the left was on the way to building it's own modern, well funded policy development and promotion infrastructure. But CAP, while it did some good work, was a disappointment.
So, 20 years later, I am attempting to build a team of people who will bring a left policy promotion infrastructure into functional, effective existence. To do that, it helps to know where we are and where the right is. So I've done some researcch, using AI to generate some reports that provide details on the existing state of policy development and promotion infrastructure for the right and left.
Here's what I asked:
Here's the response for the right, followed by the response for the left.
