More about us

Margin of Victory is Forward Blue’s newsletter — a blunt, unapologetic dispatch about how Democrats lose, the hard lessons we need to learn, and how we build a party that actually fights to win.

We launched this publication because we’re sick of watching the same consultants push the same tired strategies while Republicans chip away at our rights and our future. Every post cuts through the spin to expose what’s happening behind the scenes — and amplifies the people and ideas that could actually change the game.

We’re focused on telling the truth, organizing smarter, and holding our own side accountable — because if we don’t, the future we’re fighting for won’t survive another cycle of business-as-usual.

About David Austin

I'm David Austin, Executive Director of Forward Blue — a grassroots PAC that has raised millions to elect bold Democrats and challenge the power brokers sabotaging our movement from the inside. I’ve spent my political career working at the intersection of organizing, digital strategy, and political fundraising, and I launched Margin of Victory to say the quiet parts out loud.

This newsletter is for anyone who’s frustrated, fired up, and ready to do the work — not just to win elections, but to build lasting power. If that’s you, you’re in the right place.

If this resonates with you, I hope you’ll subscribe!
