▶️ Hear the Bern: Episode 28 - Buddy, Essentialize This! (w/ Tom Sexton & Analilia Mejia)
https://blubrry.com/hear_the_bern/50380982/28-buddy-essentialize-this-w-tom-sexton-analilia-mejia/
What does it feel like to have the full, diverse spectrum of your political concerns reduced to a single issue? Briahna takes on the media and political establishment's habit of essentializing voters from two different angles.
First, she talks to the Analilia Mejia, the campaign's national political director, about why Bernie's agenda appeals to Latinx voters in part because of its holistic approach.
Then, Tom Sexton of the Trillbilly Worker's Party podcast explains why the notion of "Trump country" doesn't even begin to explain the perspectives of Appalachian communities.
