Sarah Longwell: To Defend Democracy, Stop Talking about “Democracy”


Listen Later

Pro-democracy progressives are their own worst enemy when it comes to recruiting conservative Americans to their cause.
In part two of our conversation, political strategist Sarah Longwell offers suggestions for how to connect with anti-Trump conservatives. Her ideas draw on what she hears from voters in her frequent focus groups, as well as on her experience as a gay conservative fighting for inclusion in American society and politics in the 2010s.
Longwell is the publisher of The Bulwark and the cofounder and executive director of the advocacy organization Defending Democracy Together. She hosts The Focus Group podcast and is a senior fellow at the Charles F. Kettering Foundation.
