    Lee Drutman

    We're on a bit of a break here at the Alliance Party After Dark, so we thought it would be interesting to revisit a podcast originally released on March 22 of 2020, where we talked with Lee Drutman, political scientist and author of the book "Breaking the Two-Party Doom Loop: The Case for Multiparty Democracy in America." Though the podcast is well over a year old, the topic of the Duopoly and how it's tearing apart America, is as relevant as ever. Note that Lee Drutman recently published an article in the New York Times, which includes a real-time questionnaire that analyzes your answers and places you onto a political map. It can help you identify which of the six political parties most closely aligns with your views. The article can be found at https://nyti.ms/2VBOFgx

    A Conversation with Theodore Theopolis, Ohio State Chair

    In our first on-the-spot interview, Theodore Theopolis, the Alliance Party's Ohio State Chair, drops by to talk about politics in Ohio. Theodore describes the current redistricting efforts in Ohio, which consists of a fairly convoluted set of rules that are designed to make the drawing of political district lines "less unfair." We then move on to the biggest scandal currently unfolding in Ohio, which has, so far, resulted in arrests, indictments and ongoing FBI investigations of several politicians in a political "pay-for-play" scheme, where $60 million in campaign funds were used to influence the creation of a bill that would benefit an energy company to the tune of $1.3 billion. We wrap up by talking about the Alliance Party's efforts to insert themselves into the political process going into the 2022 elections.

    Climate Change Discussion with Chelsea Tobin

    Chelsea Tobin, Staff Director for the Texas Campaign for the Environment (TCE) drops by to discuss climate change and other environmental issues, with an emphasis on the Great State of Texas. What does climate change really mean? How is it going to affect our lives? And most importantly, what can we - each of us - do about it? Chelsea worked in environmental offices across the nation, including New Jersey, Pittsburgh, New York and Denver.  In September 2020, she took over the role of Staff Director in the Austin, Texas TCE office. TCE’s mission is to engage people and communities through face-to-face public education, grassroots organizing and action-oriented research for a cleaner and healthier Texas. They work on polluter accountability and enforcing regulation for bad actors in the industry, among many other fights!

    Jim Rex on Education and the Afghan War

    On our 100th episode, we talk with Jim Rex, the Alliance Party’s National Chair Emeritus. Jim was our first guest on episode 1 back in early October 2019, and so much has happened since that time that it’s difficult to catch up. So we focus on just a couple topics during this podcast: education and the end of the War in Afghanistan.

    Women in the Military

    Patricia Olivares drops by to talk about the unique issues and challenges that women in the military face every day. A veteran of the USMC, Patricia is a progressive political operative working on behalf of veterans - particularly women veterans - as well as the residents of Harris County, Texas. During this podcast, we discuss the incredible pressure on women in the military to perform above and beyond expectations in order to overcome sexist attitudes; pressure that nearly killed Patricia. There is also the issue of MST - Military Sexual Trauma - which women deal with every day while on active duty; it not only interferes with their job, but it can be harmful, or even fatal, if not promptly addressed.

    More Current Events with Greg and Dan

    Join Greg and Dan as they discuss current events. We initially focus on the January 6 Commission, but then we move on to other topics, like Covid and the Olympics. Why is there so much misinformation about Covid, and how can we embrace the vaccine as both a cure and something to be avoided at the same time? Regarding the Olympics, should our athletes be required to act as patriots even though they may not feel it in their hearts? Join us for these topics and more, regarding the state of politics on August 1, 2021.
