Minority Victory: Gilded Age Politics and the Front Porch Campaign of 1888 (American Presidential Elections)

During the run-up to the 1888 presidential election, Americans flocked to party rallies, marched in endless parades, and otherwise participated zealously in the political process.

Framing the Debate: Famous Presidential Speeches and How Progressives Can Use Them to Change the Conversation (And Win Elections)

“Frames are mental structures that shape the way we see the world. . . . When you hear a word, its frame is activated in your brain. . . . In politics our frames shape our social policies. . . . Because language activates frames, new language is required for new frames.”—George LakoffFor decades, the powerful communications machine of the conservative movement has controlled our national political discourse. One of the biggest obstacles to progressive victory has been seeing what American political speech looks like when it is not “framed” by the Republican noise machine. Framing the... [Read More]

The Reasoning Voter: Communication and Persuasion in Presidential Campaigns

"You are utterly incapable to steer the political ship," wrote one outraged critic.And so it has gone ever since. From the King Mob label denigrating Andrew Jackson to the wingnut and latte liberal ta... [Read More]
