Keep it in Perspective

This week I'm joined by Diane May, Communications Director at Our Revolution, the organization that came out of Senator Bernie Sanders' 2016 campaign. We discuss what this new organization is doing for the upcoming primaries, what its members will do during the general election if their first choice, Bernie Sanders, does not secure the nomination, how Democrats should be approaching swing voters in the Midwest, and whether the party should play the long game and work to make voters out of non-voters, or try to persuade Trump's least enthusiastic 2016 voters to pull the lever for a Democrat in 2020.

This week, I'm joined by my friend and fellow Democratic strategist Josh Nanberg of Ampersand Strategies to talk about the state of the 2020 Democratic field and the art of messaging in presidential politics. We take a look at how the candidates are using - or not using - effective messaging to distinguish themselves in a crowded field and at the excessive emphasis on personality over policy. We also get into the thorny but undeniable issue of sexism in politics - an issue commonly called a "women's issue" but one that, let's be honest, is caused by the guys in the room.

Back after a break and some serious rebranding, we're here with the first new episode of Keep it In Perspective, the podcast that takes the crazy of the day and puts it in perspective.

This week, we're talking the Mueller report and Attorney General Bill Barr's shameless lying to the American people and their Senators before the Judiciary Committee. Of course, Trump's newest defense attorney, who also holds the title of Attorney General, is now about to be in contempt of Congress for refusing to testify before the House. 

And just think, the week isn't even over!
