    C'mon YALL, Vote...

    State House races are often overlooked, but they play a major role in whether elections remain fair and competitive. Amanda Nelson joins us to explain how YALLvote supports state legislative candidates across the South by raising money, building awareness, and helping voters understand why down-ballot races matter. The strategy is not simply about turning red states blue, but restoring political balance, challenging entrenched supermajorities, and building long-term infrastructure in districts that have gone uncontested for years. Real competition starts by giving voters a meaningful choice in every race. 00:00 Southern Voters Deserve Better 00:41 Meet Amanda Nelson and Why She Got Political 06:42 Building Democratic Power Through State House Races 13:30 South Carolina’s Senate Race Takes Shape 18:17 When Hate Becomes the GOP Message 21:44 South Carolina Politics and the “Radical Left” 26:16 Democrats Need Clearer Messaging 31:14 Building Campaign Infrastructure for the Long Term There's more stew on Substack! https://frogmorestew.substack.com/ Learn more about Frogmore Stew at https://www.frogmorestewsc.com/ On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/frogmorestewsc on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@frogmorestewsc Frogmore Stew is brought to you by The Alliance Coalition The Alliance Coalition works to redistribute power back to YOU, the voter.

    Hot "Can't Win" Summer: Political TV Shows

    Hot "Can't Win" Summer: Political TV Shows Political TV is supposed to be fiction, but sometimes it gets a little too close to reality. We’re drafting our favorites across five categories: best episode, best politician, best place to work, drama or action, and comedy, with picks from The West Wing, Veep, Parks and Recreation, The Diplomat, Scandal, 24, and more. The draft also leads to stories from real campaigns, thoughts on what these shows actually get right about politics, and a few reminders that the people running government are often far less competent than television makes them look.

    What America's First President Tried to Prevent

    As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States, we revisit one of the most important documents from our nation's founding: George Washington's Farewell Address. Joined by historian Dr. Otis Westbrook Pickett, we discuss Washington's warnings about political parties, constitutional limits, religion in public life, foreign alliances, and the responsibilities of self-government, along with the contradictions that made Washington himself such a complicated figure. His farewell letter is 230 years old, but the questions it raises about power, leadership, and the future of American democracy still feel remarkably current. 00:00 Introduction 05:06 Why Washington Walked Away 09:37 Can We Judge Washington Today? 13:41 Why Party Loyalty Is Dangerous 23:04 Why America Rejected a State Church 27:50 The Danger of Civil Religion 31:44 Why Washington Opposed Alliances 35:26 Washington's Foreign Policy Today 40:10 Can Leaders Bend the Constitution? 47:10 Governing Beyond Party Politics 53:46 Washington's Final Message Otis Westbrook Pickett Sr. https://www.clemson.edu/cah/about/facultybio.html?id=6273 Southern Shepherds, Savage Wolves: https://uscpress.com/Southern-Shepherds-Savage-Wolves Thy Will Be Done: https://uncpress.org/9781469693521/thy-will-be-done/ There's more stew on Substack! https://frogmorestew.substack.com/ Learn more about Frogmore Stew at https://www.frogmorestewsc.com/ On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/frogmorestewsc on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@frogmorestewsc Frogmore Stew is brought to you by The Alliance Coalition The Alliance Coalition works to redistribute power back to YOU, the voter.
