You Need To Listen: Episode 21 - Moving to the Middle?

How can Democrats capture the popularity and voter appeal of economic populism? In certain parts of the country, like the "Rust Belt", the Democratic brand has been increasingly viewed as toxic by working-class voters, creating a barrier to victory in elections, and for some voters, exemplifying the party's sharp left turn on issues like culture, climate, and immigration. On this week's episode of You Need to Listen, Kristin Brey and Steve Scaffidi examine the growing rift between Democratic voters and their party, and whether that signals an eventual turn to the middle, given that extremists on both ends of the political spectrum increasingly turn many voters off. Finding the middle ground, from compromises on policy to capturing votes in next year's midterm elections, on this week's You Need to Listen Podcast.
