Deep dives
Flawed assumption of the American electorate
The podcast episode discusses the main flaw in the Democratic campaign messaging, which is based on the flawed assumption that voters are too smart. It is argued that most voters are not interested in politics, don't read the news, and are not well-informed about political issues. In contrast, the Republican Party understands this and employs a simplistic, emotionally driven messaging strategy that resonates with the electorate.
