Summary

Amanda Litman of Run For Something and The Recount’s “battleground” podcast join our hosts to look ahead to 2022. They explain why Democrats have historically ignored the state-level races that have created problems for national democracy, and the work Republicans have put in behind the scenes. They discuss the potential of “critical race theory” to swing white suburban voters and how 2020 funding could have been better spent. Finally, they discuss how Democrats can govern without constantly weighing how Republicans will react. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

0:46.5

over with our friends at the recount, which I had to ask you on because I've been listening

0:50.0

to this. You co-host it with Bosch here. And it is such an amazing conversation. How are you

0:54.8

enjoying doing it? It's so much fun. I am learning so much. It is like the best

1:09.0

Yeah. I mean, one thing I love about the conversations that you have on your show is that

1:12.8

you're having conversations about like policy and politics that are, I guess you could say

1:17.6

somewhat outside the mainstream, but are like just as important if not more important than the

1:22.5

subjects that are dominating national politics. So you two are both like the smartest people
