    Introducing Politically Sound

    Kamala Harris made history this week as the first woman of color to join a major party presidential ticket just as the nation commemorates the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage. The centennial is yet another example of this nation’s complicated and often messy history.

In our very first episode, CNN Political Director David Chalian and CNN Senior Political Reporter Nia-Malika Henderson examine the role of diversity and inclusivity in the major messaging of the Democratic Party, while sharing the often overlooked stories of the Black women who paved the way for a new generation of leaders

Not bad

It is very anti-republican, which is to be expected but it would be good to hear praise for the right and condemnation for the left when it is warranted/deserved.

The main reason I’m writing a review though is the new ad they are running. Goddamn that thing has to go. It is so bad that it’s difficult to listen to.

Australian Comment

I listen to this Podcast with interest from Adelaide in Australia however I’m struggling with something. Listening to the review of the latest Democratic debate the attacks on Mike Bloomberg regarding women were intense. While not saying those attacks are without merit, it seems to me as an outsider, they are irrelevant. It strikes me that there is a history of ignoring such things in your presidential elections and you only have to look at your current President to prove my point - Bill Clinton likewise. Don’t morals count for anything anymore?
