The Big Swing: Saving America

Why are so many of the world's biggest problems getting worse? It comes down to one thing: greed. I break down the many reasons Republicans need to be voted out in the midterms, and connect the dots between corporate and political greed and the crises we're facing right now. If you care about where this country is headed, this one's for you.

Trump has always been the Manchurian Candidate with his slavish devotion to Russia. The latest incident with his son's wedding is just another example, as well as an example of more GOP hypocrisy. The GOP don't care what happens to people, except when it happens to them.

Breaking down the Democrat's playbook heading into the midterms: force Republicans to own rising costs and the war in Iran. Fear-mongering and lies may not be enough to save the GOP this time. Then, if Democrats win big, how do they actually protect democracy and govern? Discussing the Electoral College and why it's got to go.

2027 is the year Democrats have to fight after they win the midterms: abolish the filibuster, impeach, and start passing bills to help save America!

American politics have drifted so far to the right that even basic ideas that help ordinary people can seem extreme. In this episode, we look at the "Doom Window," how both parties moved right, why that creates space for authoritarianism, and what everyday people can do together to push politics back toward democracy, solidarity, and real change.

President Trump and his fellow Republicans use bigotry to manipulate voters, and to distract them from the ever growing levels of corruption. We take a look at both the corruption and the bigotry and explore how and why these things are happening.

The Republican party serves big corporations when they should be serving the people. This is why they tells so many lies, like that immigrants are bad.

Republicans claim to love freedom and to be the party of freedom. Their actions say otherwise. This episode explores conservative freedom mythology. 

Why do we vote for Republicans? It's because of the myths that they tell and we believe. 

Republicans weren't always like this. Something changed. Now they're of and for the super rich. And they've been this way longer than you might think. What happened? What can we do about it?
