Description

Ben Wikler, chair of the Wisconsin Democratic Party, sits down with Jon Stewart to discuss his vision for the party's future and his campaign for chair of the Democratic National Committee. They talk about rebuilding fair maps after Republican gerrymandering in Wisconsin, how the DNC can show the working class how they’re fighting for them, and redirecting the goal from winning elections to enacting change in people’s lives. #DailyShow #Wisconsin #Democrats #Election Subscribe to The Daily Show: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwWhs_6x42TyRM4Wstoq8HA/?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Daily Show: Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDailyShow Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedailyshow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedailyshow Stream full episodes of The Daily Show on Paramount+: http://www.paramountplus.com/thedailyshow Follow Comedy Central: Twitter: https://twitter.com/ComedyCentral Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ComedyCentral Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/comedycentral About The Daily Show: Jon Stewart and The Best F**king News Team host The Daily Show, an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning program analyzing the biggest stories in news, politics, and culture through a sharp, satirical lens.

This is pedantic a little bit but... I wish people wouldn't separate "working class" from "have a college degree". Most of the people I went to college with have working class jobs. Those two groups are not distinct anymore, and the working class people with thousands of dollars in debt because that degree turned out to be worthless in a difficult job economy are just as angry. I like what this guy is saying, but I wish he didn't feel like he had to disagree so often on the framing. It's okay to say the Democrats messed up. It's actually really important to say that. Edit because this took off. I know most Republican voters are not college educated. My argument is that we need to ignore them and instead look at the huge margin of people who do not vote at all. That group is always overlooked and it is not one that has the same distinction. Working class people often do not bother voting at all.
