Democrats Need Sophia

I’m a 37 year-old, well-informed, queer woman. I am terrified for the state of our democracy, and I find myself constantly let down by my party. I love the MSNBC line-up, but I am finding myself more and more disenfranchised. I hear a lot of white voices wondering what we can do to get the black vote. I see older politicians, that I used look up to, scolding their base for expressing concerns regarding age.
Sophia brings engaging and thoughtful guests to the table, relevant activists that are really making changes in the world, and talking about the issues that matter to the growing progressive base.
This review comes after turning off “How to Win 2024” five minutes in and finding relief in Sophia’s latest episode. Keep up the great work! We need more people like you because politicians have blinders on. Trump is leading because he placates his base, he doesn’t scold them.
