It’s Time to Be EMO-TIONAL!We are less than a month away from the midterms! While current polling suggests an incoming blue wave and points to the economy as the top issue on voters' minds... we know we can’t rely solely on the polls (or the politicians) to tell the full story.So instead, we are looking to another cultural lens: Vanity Fair!In this episode, we break down our favorite takeaways from Vanity Fair’s October 2 episode of Fair Game featuring Mark Guiducci and playwright/producer Jeremy O. Harris. From how politicians trigger voter emotions over raw data to the critique of platforming tech billionaires and the debate surrounding socialism vs. capitalism—we unpack what this conversation reveals about power, access, and the upcoming elections.In this episode, we cover:Data vs. Emotion: Why modern political messaging relies on feeling rather than percentages to inspire action.Platforming Power: Jeremy O. Harris’s critique of media platforms giving tech elite a pass.Capitalism, Reform, and the DSA: Exploring how economic tension is shaping candidate platforms heading into November.Listen in and join the conversation!Don't forget to follow us on socials and please leave a review wherever you listen to podcasts, TY xx@commonlanguagepod
