Joshua Cohen

Joshua Cohen, a political theorist and writer of the insightful Ettingermentum Substack, joins to dissect the recent government shutdown and its implications for Democrats. He reveals how the shutdown highlighted the party's reliance on centrist punditry and lack of long-term strategies. They discuss the Democrats' shift towards healthcare messaging, the consequences of following media advice, and the need for new leadership. Cohen argues that embracing left-leaning, pragmatic policies could resonate better with voters, especially on immigration and foreign policy.
