Summary

Mississippi is showing the outage growing across America. It’s supposed to be a lock for Republicans. Fifteen straight Senate losses for Democrats. Five straight gubernatorial losses. A state both parties have written off as settled. Ty Pinkins is inspiring as hell — Army veteran, three combat tours in Iraq, son of cotton-field workers — isn't buying it. On an inspiring Episode 514, he talks with Paul Rieckhoff to lay out why the rigged two-party system is finally cracking, why $89 to fill a tank is doing more political damage than any TV ad, and why a 27-year-old white Republican mechanic just told him he's voting independent for the first time in his life. The people of Mississippi have had enough of all of it.
