Anand on framing progressive values

Continuing this post, Anand offers advice on how Bernie and Liz should frame their values. Instead of just policy talk like Medicare For All they should discuss patriotism and personal transformation. E.g., how it is patriotic when we save lives and care for each other though universal healthcare, fair wages, social protections etc. And re-frame the story of personal transformation by imaging what kind of person you could be without healthcare debt, how well your family life would be if you could work one job instead of three, how much freer you are to enjoy life when public policy addresses those needs and provides opportunities. These are good, old-fashioned American values for everyone to have a better life (1:24:00).
