This Is The Year of Progressive Candidates--But Only If We Make it So

from Walter Rhein Podcast · host Walter Rhein

I had this wonderful talk with Robert Danna and Laci Loew last week, but I’ve been doing so many candidate interviews I’ve only been able to post it now. This conversation was the start of my idea to get more Substack creators to interview progressive candidates. We are building a movement, and Robert and Laci will be HUGE assets in this effort.Bob’s been doing a series of important articles to outline our purpose, such as this one:Laci always has brilliant suggestions for new initiatives we can try. I appreciate these “brain surge” sessions where I talk to these two. As always, I feel humbled that such amazing people want to spend some time with me. But then I remember the sorry state of our media that deliberately suppresses rational perspectives because that’s how they suppress our society. If we educated the public, we’d have an educated public and that would be the end of oligarch power.I hope you enjoy this talk.
