Democracy-ish is a podcast dedicated to fighting for democracy and preserving your sanity in a time when both are under active assault by forces committed to white supremacy and stupidity. For far too long our body politic has been viewed through an all white prism that does not represent the multiracial nation that is the United States of America. Hosts Danielle Moodie and Wajahat Ali always keep it real, blunt and entertaining as they discuss how we can achieve a multiracial democracy and cover all the ground left behind by mainstream media and seek to make sense out of the nonsense.

Is Easy Money Really Easy?!
We have been learning a lot about grifting in America--from Donald Trump and his flock to the Supreme Court, everyone seems to be on the get rich or die trying bandwagon--it's this American capitalist mentality that makes the cryptocurrency industry so enticing.

Danielle and Waj chat with actor and author of the new book "Easy Money: Cryptocurrency, Casino Capitalism, and the Golden Age of Fraud", Ben McKenzie about what we need to pay attention to when it comes to crypto!

Tucker Gets the Boot!
We haven't seen a news cycle like this week in a while. Mercury is in retrograde and shaking up cable news. What was once thought unthinkable has occurred--Tucker Carlson, white supremacist golden boy is out at Fox. Not to be outdone--for entirely different reasons Don Lemon is out at CNN! Waj and Danielle discuss the shakeup and where we think cable news and mainstream media is headed next.

The Great American Plunder
Do you care about your ailing loved ones in nursing homes? How about your 401K? Private Equity firms have become modern day pirates preying on the most marginalized populations in order to make a buck--and if that isn't terrible enough they are now coming for what is left of the Middle Class. Waj and Danielle sit down with Brendan Ballou author of the new book, Plunder: Private Equity's Plan to Pillage America. In this episode of democracy-ish we pull the curtain back behind these elitist institutions to see what is really at play.

Customer Reviews
Great podcast,
Love your podcast. Disappointed though to hear Danielle gushing over shaking the hand of Meghan Markle. What has she really done for women? Really? Gushing over a woman that uttered such contempt for Black women in the Netflix documentary with her husband. Professing “shock” at being considered Black unlike in the U.K. 🤢. More women doing true boots on the ground work for women than Markle will ever do.
Wow
Wow the Ad’s are so loud!!
Yep
Bingo, u all rock. Florida was not always so ignorant, it’s so embarrassing, sad , etc. As a gay female, white, I would like to sneak up on our governor and wash his mouth with soap. It was alright back in the day while in the navy, to watch what went on in Cuba? As a veteran he makes me sick
