Title: Releyendo a Lakoff - Empatía y posicionamiento ideológico - El votante biconceptual
Author: Espino Angulo, Carlos

Abstract: Progressive parties develop their political communication in an extraordinarily adverse environment. The chaining and overlapping of crises, both occasional and systemic, and the rapid social changes in which democratic societies are immersed, demand complex responses, both for their explanation and for their management. Right-wing formations, as well as populist formations, find fertile ground in the fear and insecurity of a large part of the population in the face of crises and changes, responding with extremely simple formulations and taking advantage of the shift from conventional media to the self-information prevalent in networks. Furthermore, political communication itself has been losing argumentative content, taking on a predominantly emotional character, in line with what happen with advertising and the dual nature of the vote (rational/emotional). Electoral victories are won in the centre, which represents almost a third of the electors in Spain. Coinciding with Lakoff in characterizing this voter as biconceptual, where progressive positions coincide with conservative ones, represents a paradigm shift, as it is not about winning them over with moderate policies but with powerful and easily identifiable attractors that compel them to define themselves to the left. In this challenging task, emotional communication plays a prominent role, in which empathy is important, as well as the choice of appropriate frames, given the practical impossibility of resorting to argumentative political communication.
