Swing Votes: Changes in Political Affiliations and Election Outcomes | HISPBC Ch.3

This thorough and thought-provoking discussion provides a clearer picture to the dynamic American political landscape. While race and gender might drive political preferences and determine political participation, the bigger picture is far more complex. Differences in education and shared economic outlooks, the rise in ideologically driven donors and political polarization, the decline of moderate candidates, and even the array of factors like conflict aversion which discourage women from political participation all shape and subsequently shift current and future political outlooks.
