Apolitic: A Progressive Discussion For People Who Hate PoliticsAuthor: William Friday
This podcast is targeted to people who hate the petty games of most political discussions. They dont think about voting, issues, or even what it means to be a citizen of their country. They are very skeptical that politics can lead to anything being better in their lives. We seek to inform these people on how to define principles of progress, to achieve progress for all people by promoting respectful chatting, listening to one another, and avoiding the tendency to get triggered into taking offense. All divisions can be overcome if we treat each other with love and respect. Register and vote. Language: en Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |

Get the details here: https://amp.usatoday.com/amp/6887487002 And here from American Association of Retired Persons (AARP): https://feeds.aarp.org/politics-society/government-elections/info-2021/covid-19-relief-bill.html?_amp=true Discussion of Where The Republicans Are Headed (Part 3): Misinformation: Beware! The current direction of the Republican Party needs to be recognized and responded to at the ballot box particularly by people who have not voted regularly or at all. The current situation of the Republican Party as of November 2020 through May 2021 indicates that the party regulars believe that Trump won the 2020 election. Republicans in 2021 want to oppose government spending to help with pandemic relief, oppose extensive infrastructure restoration (including roads, bridges, the electrical grid, the family structure, renewable energy, broadband internet access for all), and (in The in the case of many Republican state legislators, to put many barriers in front of prospective voters to reduce the size of the electorate—All in the name of fraud prevention. Many conservative commentators have spoken words of caution to the leadership of the Republican party and these commentators have in many cases resigned from the party as long as Trump tries to control the direction of Republican ideology. There are many other criticisms of Trumpism which we will not address today but we will be speaking about this topic of Trump’s weaknesses over the next 18 months. The main thing now is to convince people who have not voted or people who are undecided why they should vote for progressive candidates—In some cases for the Democratic candidate and in some cases for the progressive challenger in primary elections.
