Still (sadly) very relevant—a must listen!
wi gerrymeanderin epi
wi is my State. these people fighting for us to end or stabilize gerrymandering in WI need to get the word out on a regular basis. i realize that was an old podcast epi i just listened to but that is a huge problem n WI. no dissemination of info to all of the State. no change is ever going to come if those fighting don’t get the word out to not just large cities which i am n madison and hear very little about the fight actually but you have to get those small towns involved. republicans cheat to win. democrats need to push the truth out there be it via social media, email campaigns, hard copy mailers, dems are bad at this. we are the worst fighters ever.
Wonderful podcast
I enjoy it a lot. Educational and interesting at the same time.
