Topic: Righteous Mind

Senator Mazie Hirono spoke at a retreat about the Democrats' struggle to connect with voters' "hearts" rather than just their "brains." She cited Jonathan Haidt's book "The Righteous Mind," suggesting that Democrats are "too smart" and focus on the "rider" (logic) while Republicans speak to the "elephant" (emotion). The hosts mock the idea that being "too smart" is the Democrats' primary communication problem.
