This episode discusses the Democratic Party's struggle, particularly the decline in support from men, linking it to the party's embrace of ideologies perceived as hostile to traditional values and its handling of issues like anti-Semitism and domestic terrorism. The hosts analyze recent polling data, critique institutional failures in academia and medicine regarding anti-Semitism, and use the New York City mayoral race as a case study for the party's ideological challenges. They argue the party's top-down approach and disconnect from common sense contribute to its difficulties.
