280- The Missouri Progressive's Political Vision with Dan Schaefer

Send us a text

Dan Schaefer, progressive candidate for the Missouri House of Representatives, shares his journey from engineering to politics and his perspective on navigating a red state as a Democrat with socially progressive and fiscally conservative views.

• Missouri is transitioning from a former bellwether state to one with increasingly competitive elections
• Republicans have a communication advantage by pushing messaging through vertical channels while Democrats try a more bottom-up approach
• Trump's followers represent a cult of personality that may not survive his political exit
• Missouri Republicans have repeatedly overturned voter-approved progressive ballot measures
• A conservative case for universal healthcare compares America's $12,000 per-person healthcare costs to other countries' $6,000
• Rural hospital closures create dangerous "healthcare deserts" in farming communities
• The pandemic exposed vulnerabilities in supply chains for critical medications and components
• Democrats often lose messaging battles by over-explaining instead of leading with simple, effective messages
• LA protests are largely peaceful despite media focus on isolated incidents of violence
