Tough Love: A Democratic Consultant's Inside Account of the Party's Move Away From the Working Class Toward Cultural Elitism

Evan Barker talks about her book, Nothing Left: Confessions of a Democratic Operative that traces her rise from working class roots to consulting on major Democratic campaigns. Her initial enthusiasm during the Obama era turns into disappointment and disillusionment as the party turns away from its working class roots to focus on cultural issues. She addresses all this as well as her vote in the 2024 presidential race and advice for Democrats to recapture working class voters. Evan had a front row seat to the political realignment shaping our politics and her book is the most important of this campaign season to understand what's going on.
