Summary

Democracy-ish is a podcast dedicated to fighting for democracy and preserving your sanity in a time when both are under active assault by forces committed to white supremacy and stupidity. For far too long our body politic has been viewed through an all white prism that does not represent the multiracial nation that is the United States of America. Hosts Danielle Moodie and Wajahat Ali always keep it real, blunt and entertaining as they discuss how we can achieve a multiracial democracy and cover all the ground left behind by mainstream media and seek to make sense out of the nonsense.

0:31.9	Because you are more likely to be shot as an innocent black or brown person wearing a hood walking down the street in the rain as Trayvon Martin was than you are to have with your whole face out and a pole, go and beat the hell out of a police officer and then be able to go home.

0:58.0	They will burn everything down, including themselves.
1:03.0	And when I used to say this in 2017 and 2018, on CNN and other places,
1:08.0	people used to stare at me like I was a crazy person.
1:12.3	Like, oh, what do you mean?
1:14.8	It's just the GOP, it's just Trump, it's just a few people.

1:20.7	MAGA has overtaken the GOP.
1:23.8	This is going to escalate after the election.
1:25.5	I said Donald Trump won't leave.
1:28.2	He didn't leave. I said Marjor Taylor Green is going to be the head and future of the party. She is. And y'all aren't paying attention. I tell you,
1:33.4	you know, be safe, be vigilant, but be joyful. Like we have got to continue to press on. Part of
1:39.7	resistance is being in places of joy. And so do not succumb to the hate.
