Topics
Sabrina Siddiqui:民主党大会反映出民主党内部空前的团结和热情,尤其是在哈里斯成为总统候选人之后。她认为,这次大会是民主党团结基层、确保11月大选投票率的关键时刻,重点不在于吸引中间选民,而在于激励党内支持者。她还分析了历届总统对现任总统的支持,以及民主党在处理移民和加沙问题上的策略。她认为,民主党更擅长利用共和党的失误来争取选民,而不是过多地强调自身的政策。 Astead Herndon:他指出,民主党大会的氛围与一个月前的预期大相径庭,从原本的沉闷甚至充满争议,转变为如今的庆祝性盛会。他认为,哈里斯的提名消除了党内的一些分歧,并为民主党带来了新的活力。他还谈到了民主党大会将如何利用名人效应和网络迷因来吸引年轻选民,以及如何平衡对普通民众和名人的关注。 Casey Newton:他关注民主党大会的线上活动,特别是对“卡玛拉现象”的反应和网络迷因的生成。他认为,民主党大会将尝试利用网络迷因来吸引年轻选民,但同时也要避免过度依赖网络迷因,以免失去中间选民的支持。他还分析了共和党和民主党在信息传播策略上的差异,以及社交媒体网红对民主党大会的影响。 Reed Galen:他认为,快乐的民主党人会投票,而沮丧的民主党人不会。他认为,这次大会将看到许多快乐的民主党人,这比一个月前的情况要好得多。他还分析了民主党大会的策略,以及如何利用特朗普的负面形象来争取选民。他认为,哈里斯应该更多地关注价值观而非具体政策,并利用沃尔兹州长来攻击特朗普。 Kara Swisher:她对民主党取消点名投票环节表示遗憾,认为这错失了一个历史性时刻。她还探讨了民主党大会邀请名人参加的重要性,以及如何平衡对普通民众和名人的关注。她还分析了民主党和共和党在竞选信息传递上的差异,以及社交媒体网红对民主党大会的影响。 Sabrina Siddiqui: The Democratic National Convention reflects an unprecedented level of unity and enthusiasm within the Democratic Party, particularly after Harris became the presidential nominee. She believes that this convention is a crucial moment for the Democrats to unite their base and ensure voter turnout in the November election. The focus is not on attracting undecided voters, but on motivating party supporters. She also analyzed the support of past presidents for the current president and the Democrats' strategies in handling immigration and the Gaza issue. She believes that Democrats are better at using Republicans' mistakes to win over voters than by overemphasizing their own policies. Astead Herndon: He points out that the atmosphere of the Democratic National Convention is vastly different from what was expected a month ago, shifting from what was originally dull or even contentious to a celebratory event. He believes that Harris's nomination has eliminated some internal divisions within the party and brought new vitality to the Democrats. He also discussed how the Democratic National Convention will use celebrity endorsements and internet memes to attract young voters and how to balance the attention given to ordinary people and celebrities. Casey Newton: He focuses on the online activities of the Democratic National Convention, particularly the reaction to the "Kamala phenomenon" and the generation of internet memes. He believes that the Democratic National Convention will try to use internet memes to attract young voters, but at the same time, it must avoid over-reliance on internet memes, lest it lose the support of undecided voters. He also analyzed the differences in information dissemination strategies between the Republican and Democratic parties, and the impact of social media influencers on the Democratic National Convention. Reed Galen: He believes that happy Democrats will vote, while unhappy Democrats will not. He believes that this convention will see many happy Democrats, which is much better than a month ago. He also analyzed the strategies of the Democratic National Convention and how to use Trump's negative image to win over voters. He believes that Harris should focus more on values than specific policies and use Governor Walz to attack Trump. Kara Swisher: She regrets the Democrats' cancellation of the roll-call vote, believing it missed a historic moment. She also discussed the importance of the Democratic National Convention inviting celebrities to participate and how to balance the attention given to ordinary people and celebrities. She also analyzed the differences in campaign messaging between the Democrats and Republicans, and the impact of social media influencers on the Democratic National Convention.

Shownotes Transcript

The Democratic National Convention gets underway this week with party stars, social media influencers and Republican Never Trumpers flocking to Chicago for the historic event. Although Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz have already been officially nominated online, the DNC will be a prime chance to lay out their agenda to the American people. But will they? Or will they be more focused on vibes and values? This week, Kara and a team of longtime Harris reporters and political insiders break down which issues will likely be front and center at the DNC, what you won’t hear a lot about, and what role social media, memes and Generative AI will likely play in the weeks ahead. Guests: Wall Street Journal White House reporter Sabrina Siddiqui; New York Times National politics reporter and host of The Run-Up podcast Astead Herndon; Casey Newton, founder of Platformer and co-host of the Hard Fork podcast; and Reed Galen, co-founder of the Lincoln Project, president of Join the Union, and author of the substack The Home Front.
