C'mon YALL, Vote...

State House races are often overlooked, but they play a major role in whether elections remain fair and competitive. Amanda Nelson joins us to explain how YALLvote supports state legislative candidates across the South by raising money, building awareness, and helping voters understand why down-ballot races matter. The strategy is not simply about turning red states blue, but restoring political balance, challenging entrenched supermajorities, and building long-term infrastructure in districts that have gone uncontested for years. Real competition starts by giving voters a meaningful choice in every race. 00:00 Southern Voters Deserve Better 00:41 Meet Amanda Nelson and Why She Got Political 06:42 Building Democratic Power Through State House Races 13:30 South Carolina’s Senate Race Takes Shape 18:17 When Hate Becomes the GOP Message 21:44 South Carolina Politics and the “Radical Left” 26:16 Democrats Need Clearer Messaging 31:14 Building Campaign Infrastructure for the Long Term There's more stew on Substack! https://frogmorestew.substack.com/ Learn more about Frogmore Stew at https://www.frogmorestewsc.com/ On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/frogmorestewsc on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@frogmorestewsc Frogmore Stew is brought to you by The Alliance Coalition The Alliance Coalition works to redistribute power back to YOU, the voter. We do this by collecting data on belief systems, providing clear and digestible political information, history and trends, while building a community for those of us who feel politically unhoused. We encourage all to engage in shaping our state’s future and communicating our thoughts about how to do that productively. https://www.thealliancecoalition.org/
