Episode notes
Party Of The Many Not The Few
- Greg Casar says the Democratic Party should be the party of working-class people standing up to the wealthy few.
- He points to historical wins like Medicare and the Voting Rights Act as models for that fight today.
Framing Current Policy As Wealth Transfer
- Casar frames current GOP fights (like over reopening government) as attempts to transfer wealth upward and remove protections.
- He contrasts that with Democrats working to lower costs, protect health care, and defend ordinary people's money.
Use The Construction Site Test
- Talk about issues in plain, relatable language rather than party talking points.
- Use the 'construction site test': focus on issues that change a worker's daily life and material well-being.
