A Time for Choosing, 2026
More than sixty years ago, a man asked a nation whether it still trusted freedom, still trusted itself. That question has come due again, on our own ballots.

More than sixty years ago, a man asked a nation whether it still trusted freedom, still trusted itself. That question has come due again, on our own ballots.
Do we still believe in the free individual? Or have we begun, quietly, one election at a time, handing ourselves over to those who promise to run our lives for us, in exchange for the freedom to run them ourselves?
Don't take that as a hypothetical. The evidence is in front of us.
This year, an organization that calls itself “democratic socialist” crossed 120,000 members, the largest socialist organization in this country's history. It elected the mayor of our largest city, unseated a sitting congressional caucus chair, and knocked off a fifteen-term incumbent in Colorado. It's now on the ballot for governor in Wisconsin and mayor of our nation's capital.
Let’s be honest about how they won. In this year's New York primary, the citywide Democrat turnout was just seventeen percent. One winning candidate took her congressional seat with roughly thirty-seven thousand votes out of four hundred fifty-six thousand eligible voters. Another unseated a sitting committee chairman with about seven percent of her district voting. That is not a mandate. It's what happens when a free people stay home and a small, organized faction shows up anyway.
History does not require large numbers to change a nation's fate. Fidel Castro landed on the shores of Cuba with eighty-one other men, aboard a leaking boat called the Granma. Most did not survive the first ambush. What remained of that small, disciplined faction took the island within three years and held it for more than sixty. A hundred twenty thousand members is not insignificant. Neither was eighty-two men.
