State of the States (w/ Aaron Kleinman)
🕑 Added 2022-10-31 16:34:04 +0000 UTCWith the midterms a week away, Sam talked to Aaron Kleinman of The States Project (aka @BobbyBigWheel) about the battle to defend American democracy at the state level — where Trumpist state legislators continue to deny the 2020 election and lay the groundwork for ignoring the will of the majority in the future. How did the conservative movement manage to to take over so many statehouses? Can Democrats still turn back the tide? What is the "independent state legislature" theory?
Aaron helps answers these questions and more — and gives us a useful rundown of the states to watch closely in the midterms next Tuesday.

I have a question for the community here. Has the podcast ever discussed the Manhattan Declaration? https://www.manhattandeclaration.org/

Yeah this was disappointing

I have higher expectations for this show than the run-of-the-mill blue check #resistance lib with platitudes like “democracy is on the ballot” in this “unprecedented” election that apparently-in the case of this guest-leads one to suggest coalition with tea party Republicans

Yes, it’s scary here in AZ. We have some real crazies! Here’s hoping the rest of us show up and soundly defeat them. Thanks, Aaron, for helping us with that! And thanks Sam for the great interview.
