Today were joined by Walter Rhein and two congressional candidates, Shelby Campbell (Michigan) and Ericka Kopp for VA-01 (Virginia), and the throughline was pretty clear: people are done waiting to be handed a voice.
We talked about everything from broken primaries and money in politics to generational trauma, sex work, healthcare, and what it actually looks like to run for office as a regular person right now.
Messy, honest, occasionally unhinged—in the best way.
And underneath all of it, a real sense that new voices aren’t just coming… they’re already here.
Thank you LeftieProf, Sean M Hines, Noble Blend, Courtney, Kim G, and many others for tuning in. And biggest thanks ever to our amazing mods, Karen Marie Shelton and Yanni Hamburger. Y’all are the best.
Love you all, mean it!
