Sarah Longwell and Yascha Mounk discuss the effect of the January 6th hearings on Republican voters.
This was a fantastic interview. Democrats would do very well to listen to Sarah.
A Democrat can win in 2024 if they do indeed address people's legitimate social concerns as well as tackling the economy:
-Be pro-police and tough on crime as well as opposing mass incarceration
-Call for tighter border security - and criticize businesses who hire the undocumented - as well as celebrating America's history of immigration
-Show respect for - and shake hands with - law abiding gun owners while calling for tighter gun control
-Recognize that most Americans - probably most Democrats - find progressive beliefs on trans issues weird, and that doesn't make them bigots
-Recognize that the diversity that strengthens America is a lot more complex than a simplistic division into "white" and "of color"
-Criticize the left for the speed with which they accuse people of racism, transphobia, etc.
Not only are these politically smart, they are good in themselves.
Great conversation and insights. Thanks for clearly outlining the challenges in the current political environment.
