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.

Media Terrorism
Taylor Lorenz, internet and technology reporter and author of the upcoming book,Extremely Online, had the audacity to investigate the right-wing's media terror machine and her life and livelihood have been threatened ever since. Mainstream media continues to cower to online white nationalist terrorism leaving those seeking to do real journalism left to fend for themselves or quit the profession altogether. We dive deep on this episode about what each of us can do in our own corners of the universe to fight back. Waj and Danielle discuss this and so much more on this episode of #democracy-ish

Insurrectionist Protection Committee
What happens when you don't hold insurrectionists accountable for their crimes against democracy? They run for office and win. What happens when you don't convict white collar criminals that defraud millions? They head to their new grift which is always bigger and badder than the last one. There is a pattern in America of protecting the worst among us so long as they have the complexion for the protection and the coins to match. On this episode of#democracyish Waj and Danielle have a lot to get off their chests. Buckle up friends we're in for a bumpy 2023!

Right Wing America's Boogeyman
Whatever we don't understand we fear. That has been the norm in this country and around the globe. This idea that somehow people who don't look like us, love like us, or identify the way we do are to be feared or worse contained. The latest group to be targeted are transgender Americans. People who want nothing but the dignity, protection and respect that we all want--yet their desires are put up for debate and entire campaigns and policies are created to keep them othered. In this episode of #democracyish Danielle and Wajahat chat with writer and trans advocate Parker Molloy about we the media gets wrong about the trans community

Customer Reviews
Not thrilled with the guest
The guest on the "can we win over white women" was AWFUL. None of what's going on is FUNNY. None of its a joke. I get she's supposed to a comedian- but trying to make everything funny is RIDICULOUS. It was uncomfortable to even listen too.
My go-to podcast
Danielle stresses me out, her voice, her intensity but Wan makes the podcast and makes it one of my favs.
Can We win over White Women
I am a white woman who lives in a red state. However, there are many of us who are trying to bring women over to the democrat party. It is very difficult as the GOP has such a hold on these women. There are many of us who phone bank, write postcards and go to festivals to spread the word. Believe me, we are just as frustrated as you are as to why women are voting against their own best interests. My first time listening to your podcast and look forward to hearing more.
