democracy-ish

19 days left and the election is a hot mess. Will there be another debate or just dueling TV town halls? Will actual voters ever get to question the candidates? Will anything ever matter ever again? Democracyish.

Does Trump really have Corona??? He’s lied about so much, why not this? One of us thinks he’s got it, one of us thinks he doesn’t. Plus that VP debate was... something. Democracyish. As long as we still have a country.

The debate was traumatizing. Triggering. Enraging. Trump was a monster. Wallace was an enabler. And Biden was… there. Did anything in that debate help anyone make up their mind? For the good of the country should there be anymore? Democracyish.

Breonna’s murderers are not being charged with her murder and Trump its promising to steal the election and Dems in DC lack the spine for the coming fight. WTF?!? Insert primal scream here. #Democracyish Hosts: Danielle Moodie & Touré Executive Producer: Adell Coleman Producer: Ryan Woodhall Distributor: DCP Entertainment    Support the show: https://www.dcpofficial.com/democracy-ish See omnys...

We’re a shithole country because we pay off Breonna Taylor’s family but don’t give us actual justice, because Russia and China are deciding who our next leader will be, because hundreds of thousands are dead and yet thousands are chanting no more masks because Trump told them it’s a hoax. We’re a shithole country. Thanks GOP. #Democracyish. Hosts: Danielle Moodie & Touré Executive Producer: Ad...

Trump was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize while he knew that Covid was real and could kill thousands and decided that the best course was… to do nothing. Can’t believe that sentence is real. America is a third world country. Vote or die. Democracyish.

There’s so much to be sad about. The death of Chadwick Boseman. The murdering of Kyle Rittenhouse. The impending destruction of American democracy. We had a great run but if this is the final season of America, this country is going out with a bang. Democracy-ish.

The RNC portrays an America none of us recognize while Kenosha portrays an America that we totally recognize. It’s madness. The RNC and Kenosha on Democracyish.

The DNC elevates Kamala and women and America and Biden. It talks about America the way it really is. It tells us Trump ain’t up to the job. Can every week be DNC week? Democracyish this week with Touré and guest host Karen Finney.

Kamala! Kamala! Kamala! We at Democracyish are emotional at seeing a Black woman, and this Black woman, ascend to the VP slot. This week it’s all about Kamala and our feelings and Shirley Chisholm and all the women who make up the spine of the Dem party and the Black community and America. Hosts: Danielle Moodie & Touré Executive Producer: Adell Coleman Producer: Ryan Woodhall Distributor: DCP...

Will Biden pick a Black VP? He better. We think the choice is really which one he’ll pick: Kamala or Karen or Susan or Val. We’ll go through who we like, who we don’t like, and which potential choice makes Touré go through the roof. But we feel certain that Biden will pick a Black woman. Fingers crossed. Democracyish.

With less than 100 days to go we are nervous and elated and freaked out. We need to vent. Trump must go. America is a shitshow right now. Pray for us. Democracyish.

Nightmare In Portland. Trump’s secretive military police—stormtrumpers—are attacking and kidnapping peaceful citizens in Portland. They will soon be in Chicago, Detroit, NY and elsewhere. This is fascism and it is extremely frightening. Danielle and Touré are scared out of our minds and you should be, too.

Kanye has exited the presidential race as quickly as he entered it. As if 2020 could get any crazier. Is Kanye the first or last in a string of would-be third party candidates? Will America still be entangled with this type of foolishness in... August? Is voting a third party candidate even acceptable in a world where one of the candidates is an existential threat to Black, brown and queer lives? ...

Should they arrest Amy Cooper? Some Black intellectuals say no. She’s suffered enough. Christian Cooper agrees. What does Democracyish say? Danielle and Toure want her to see her do time.

The racial wealth gap has not changed since the 1950s. The federal government has been helping white people build wealth and damaging Black people’s ability to create wealth for decades. The time for reparations is now. Inspired by Nikole Hannah-Jones’s NYT piece about reparations, Danielle and Toure make the case. Hosts: Danielle Moodie & Touré Executive Producer: Adell Coleman Producer: Ryan...

Is America beyond fixing? Should we just move? Or should we stay and fight to help America out of the difficult hole it’s in now? Danielle and Toure debate whether it’s time to abandon America or time to stand up and work to make America great for once. #Democracyish.

Trump’s a buffoon, a jerk, an ignoramus, a moron, a nincompoop, a victim, a maniac, and a racist but he’s also a jackass.

Imagine a post-police world where cops aren’t stalking Black people in the streets? It doesn’t mean chaos and The Purge, it means a new vision of public safety. What exactly do we envision?

As the country continues falling apart, protesters are everywhere, fighting symbolically for their ideals and too often finding themselves in literal fights with police.

We are triggered. The white privilege of Amy Cooper, the tragic death of George Floyd… it’s been a difficult week. We come together to vent, to preach, to scream.

In a world where 57% of white men support Trump and 57% of everyone else is against him you have to wonder what’s the matter with wypipo? Especially white men. Danielle and Toure talk to Jonathan Metzl the author of Dying Of Whiteness about what’s going on with white people.

Trump and the right decided it was time to go back to work—who cares how many die—as soon as they realized that many of those dying from Coronavirus are Black and brown. This is no coincidence. This is part of the racial contract that has been a part of America since the beginning. To explore the racial aspect of the back to work movement, Danielle and Toure are joined by Adam Serwer from the Atla...

The rage is real because the video of Ahmaud Arbery’s murder is traumatizing. The rage is real because that video is just one of many we all can see on our mind’s screen at any time because they’re burned into our memory banks from Tamir Rice to Sandra Bland to Philando Castile to Eric Garner. And they all tap into the pain of seeing the horrifying final photo of Emmet Till. And the lynching photo...

What do Black voters need? What should Black voters demand from Biden or anyone who wants their vote right now? Can we be bought for the price of a Black VP or is there more we can demand? Can we talk about policies aimed at Black communities? More COVID testing in Black areas and more SBA loans for Black businesses? What about an end to the War On Drugs? Also… we finally talk through #BlackAF. Da...
