About this listen

Politics spends a lot of time talking about voters and not nearly enough time listening to them.

In this episode of Blue Dog Radio, we talk with political analyst Simon Bazelon about the people who actually decide elections. Not the loudest voices online, but the voters in the middle who are trying to get through the week with some stability, dignity, and hope.

Here we dig into what these voters really care about, why life feels harder than it used to, and how the economy, costs, and basic quality of life shape political decisions far more than party lines. They also talk about institutional trust, what campaigns get wrong about non voters, and why pragmatic, results focused leadership still matters.

This conversation sits between our recent episode on the non market economy, tying together one big idea: people vote with the realities of their daily lives.
