Andra, you are going gangbusters! Thank you; but if, just if, you can somehow find the extra time and energy, please do more interviews.
It DEFINITELY SHOULD be possible to interest MSNBC in reviewing/broadcasting - especially so close to this all-decisive election! - key elements of your comprehensive detailed Insider Guide to understanding/surviving the Christian Nationalist evil that aims to murder our democracy. Or is MSNBC 'fake' as well...
I would love to talk with MSNBC. If anybody here knows someone there, PLEASE connect us.
It isn’t that these outlets are fake; one has to have a good publicist or some inside connection to be interviewed. I have a lot to say about this dynamic, but I think it best to wait until after the election to say it.
That you Andrea for this post. I’m going to print several copies of this to hand out to ‘undecided’ voters.
This morning I saw a segment on Morning Joe that Gen Z are undecided because neither candidate matches their value system and issues. I would ask them just who shares your values or issues exactly? I have never agreed with a candidate or President 100%, especially Republicans.
To me, a 66 yr old woman, I certainly don’t what America to fully transform into a Christian nationalist nation.
Thank you again for these bullet points and all of your posts.đŸ’™
The Gen Zers in my life are very smart. They know the national Democratic Party really doesn’t give a shit about them, and I relate to those feelings. I think that’s where a lot of this comes from. I try to reiterate no matter how true that may be, they are the only party right now that cares about democracy and freedom. We can fix some of the other things later, but we have to save democracy first. That usually lands.
Do you think the Democratic Party will begin to truly care about Gen Z? I don't think it will happen until new leaders run the party. In my view, Democrats care about issues that truly matter and resonate with Gen Z, but not the population itself.
The Gen Zers in my life see the disconnectedness and disingenuousness of Dems at the national level. I think many of them understand Dems are our only option for democracy right now, but that won’t always be the case. For democracy to survive and thrive, we ultimately have to break the chokehold or both existing parties and nurture several party alternatives that more closely align with a voter’s beliefs.
I'm not sure. If Republicans lose in November, I see them splitting into the MAGA faction and a more center right party. I also see the left splitting into center left and progressives. If we could force 4 viable parties, we could vote for candidates that more closely align with our beliefs, which would lead to more people voting. And we would have to form coalition governments that work together to get things done.
Thank you so much for all you've been doing!
You’re welcome. Graphics aren’t my forte but I think these are useful. It hit me how much I’ve written since January.
I am learning so much from you. Thank you!
I'm glad, Linda.
This format makes it so clear and easy to understand ! Thank you !!
Hope it is persuasive.

I have posted about your work with links on Joy-Ann Reid's 'And Another Thing' twice now.
If I can think of anything else...but you know best about the timing.
I wish you the best possible day :)

What and how would that look like in detail? I'm curious, and I'm trying to visualize it.

I duplicated one somehow. But I’ll make sure the right one gets in there.
