Summary
Historians suggest Democrats might have fared better against Donald Trump by embracing the economic issues championed by Senator Bernie Sanders, who has long pushed for a focus on “bread-and-butter” concerns for working-class voters.
Despite Kamala Harris’s progressive policies, polls showed Trump was favored on economic issues, particularly among working-class and Hispanic voters.
Historian Leah Wright Rigueur argued that Sanders’ messaging on economic struggles could be key for future Democratic strategies.
Sanders himself criticized the party for “abandoning” the working class, which he said has led to a loss of support across racial lines.
Media is different than journalism. There’s a woman, formerly called “The Most Hated Woman In American,” named Madelyn McMurray O’Hair, and she’s the reason we don’t pray in schools or have Bibles. I’m going to link an interview of her, and I want you to imagine this conversation happening today.

People weren’t kinder then. But it does appear that they had better journalism in some ways back then. How do you think “Your body, my choice,” men would respond to this women?
I completely separate media from journalism. What we have today is not journalism, Journalism has been dead since Clintons telecom Reform Act.
I had watched numerous interviews with Madelyn McMurray O’Hair In the 70s I’m well aware of who she is. She was probably my first catalyst into becoming atheist.
Are there any other interviews or people from that time you’d like to share?
