Why do liberals continue to struggle with political persuasion—even when the facts and policies are on their side?


In this episode of Lean to the Left, host Bob Gatty sits down with author, strategist, and political thinker Spencer Critchley to explore why liberals often fail to connect emotionally with voters, and how they can turn that around.


Drawing on his new Substack project, The Liberal Backbone, soon to become a published book, and his book Patriots of Two Nations, Spencer discusses:


• The “Liberal Paradox” — how rational thinking blinds progressives to emotional reality

• Why politics operates in the other 99% of human consciousness

• How Trump and other populists use simple emotional cues to persuade

• Why evidence-based arguments fail with many voters

• The global crisis facing liberal democracy

• How liberals can reclaim narrative, purpose, and connection

• The importance of rhetoric, storytelling, and identity in political communication


Spencer also explains why understanding—not dismissing—different perspectives is crucial for bridging America’s political divide.
