Can "Touch-Grass Populism" Save America?
Manage episode 514913116 series 3008690
By some measures, the Democratic Party has never been so unpopular as a political brand. While this fact obviously reflects some difficult realities for the party, it also creates an opportunity for Democrats to redefine what the party stands for. Derek talks to Massachusetts Congressman Jake Auchincloss about his idea for a digital dopamine tax, the art of politics in an attention economy, why moderate Democrats don't have big bold ideas, Derek's two-party theory for political success in America, and more.
Host: Derek Thompson
Guest: Jake Auchincloss
Producers: Devon Baroldi and Devon Renaldo
