Who's "Electable" Anyway?

Description:

“Electability” has been both a buzzword and a running theme of contemporary political conversations, but it obscures a simple truth: the candidates we decide to vote for are the candidates who are “electable.” As we approach the height of the 2020 Election cycle, our panelists will provide in-the-moment analysis on the impact of “electability”, “likeability” and unconscious bias on voting, fundraising, and raising the visibility of candidates who represent the full spectrum of identities and ideas in the U.S. This panel explores the truth about “electability”: whether it is a valid conversation in the 2020 elections (plural); what the data says; who the conversation harms and benefits; and how it muddies our view of effective governance, collective power, and the security of the ballot.
