Dec 12, 2024•1 hr 8 min
Episode description
The origins of the Democratic party's current malaise include ineffective messaging on climate and economic policy, too rigid a tent on cultural issues, and Dem politicians just too scared to speak their mind. Like, Kamala could've turned the trans youth in sports convo into one about parents spending boatloads on sports camps so their kids can get into a good college. Plus, Christopher Wray chose the worst option.
Matt Yglesias and Tyler Austin Harper join Tim Miller to hash it out.
