What Democrats Can Learn From Ron DeSantis's Humiliation
Manage episode 397349035 series 3331012
This week on Politix, Matt and Brian discuss:
* Ron DeSantis’s humiliation.
* What policy literalism and pandering to base activists (as opposed to grassroots voters) has to do with both DeSantis’s failure, and the underperformance of some high-profile Democratic Party politicians.
* Is there an optimal middle ground between detailed policy laundry lists and Donald Trump-style bullshitting?
Then, paid Politix subscribers get to hear Matt’s mea culpa for setting progressive politics on its course to litmus testing Democratic candidates, Brian’s theory that the Democrats’ policy-forward appeals are sometimes necessary—particularly after long stretches of Republican rule—and what Democratic activists can learn about politics from rich, greedy tax-cut seekers like Jamie Dimon.
