Show Notes
On today’s show, the
and teams discuss the power of primaries — with a heavy focus on the Democratic Party primary for the Maine Senate seat, is there a cultural line we cannot cross, how can you as an individual make an impact, and big news for a new + partnership!The teams give you their honest takes. The most important of which is the need to maintain a moral and cultural redline we will not cross — normalizing and accepting symbols of hate (Graham Platner’s Totenkopf tattoo) makes it impossible to call out those same symbols of hate on others without being hypocrites.
It’s about taking real accountability — not degrading an entire branch of the Armed Services while dismissing a hate symbol. Graham Platner didn’t apologize — he demeaned the Marines as unintelligent, un-inquisitive, and unable to make good choices because a woman hadn’t taught them yet. That is patriarchal as fuck and an insult to the entire Marine Corps.
We are demanding accountability, not mediocrity.
