  • Oh no! It's the "you're a racist if you acknowledge race" BS. If you aren't colorblind, you're the real racist. So intellectually dishonest and a blindness to history that is breathtaking. Love the podcast!! ❤❤
  • @chrisray1567
    Another great episode. Also, I love the video format, which I’m sure is a lot more work, so thank you for putting in the extra effort and time.
  • @MarkAhlquist

    I love when Leah drops knowledge on Kate and the Gen Xers in the audience that don't know this stuff!!!!

    Where can we get the “time for bad decisions” shirt? My parents always would say ‘decisions have consequences’ so I feel like that shirt was written for me…

    If we don’t keep an eye on our state’s voters and demand our right to heavily regulate these people they may feel they have a perfect right to vote for whoever they want.
  • @Riokaii
    if race being predominant factor was so important, wouldnt that same challenge be fatal to the 5 white district map in the first place?
  • @b991228
    Is Nathan Herring a reindeer herder or a caribou herder? In Alaska wouldn’t reindeer be invasive species …or is Nathan Herring a foreign agent?

    if it agrees with my perspective; I’m exercising my rights in a capitalist society; if I disagree; it’s cancel culture
  • @nolanwoods4173
    Can you please fix the audio and reupload? The echo makes it really difficult to follow
  • @OldManse09
    Love your stuff but sometimes the podcast works better for me. It comes out earlier for one thing. I hope you understand.
  • @XtopherCB
    what's with all the jump scare close-up edits? distracting for watchers... strategy to move us all to audio-only?
