In a recent episode of the Flagrant podcast, former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg discussed the significance of effective communication in politics. Buttigieg highlighted how Democratic parties, especially after setbacks, must determine not only what policies to advocate for but also how to convey their message. His humorous jab at Fox News resonated with the hosts, while he reflected on the need for empathy in political discourse, emphasizing understanding voters' pain and ensuring messages are not dismissive or alienating.
We have to think about how our message is framed. Whether we are engaging or disengaging, it’s crucial to consider the emotional context.
Part of it is like, where do we go? What do we have to say and how do we say it? Those are the three main considerations.
If the policies and ideas are right, we should hold to them; if we're not so sure they're right, we should rethink them.
