Bridging the Voter Engagement Gap

This chapter examines the disconnect between popular public policies and the diminishing appeal of political parties, particularly in the wake of recent elections with high voter abstention rates. The discussion highlights the importance of directly engaging with diverse constituents, addressing misinformation, and reflecting on campaign strategies to better connect with the electorate. Additionally, the speakers share personal experiences and insights on the need for empathy and effective communication, particularly when addressing challenging topics like military service and fiscal conservatism.
