The Truth About No Labels
Reed Galen: "A third-party ticket can’t win the Presidency. It has never before happened in American history. Despite their protestations that they don’t need to get to 50% + 1 of voters, just to say, 35%, there is no chance of this happening."

And boundaries are forming on the map of '24, and it's shaping up to be one hell of a weird / bad / consequential / violent / impossibly important year for our democracy. Join Rick, Stuart, and Joe with special guest Jeff Timmer for your weekly forecast.

Defending Democracy
Defending Democracy
Democracy is under attack. The authoritarian GOP knows they can't win if democracy does, so they attack voting rights and Civil Rights. They are wrong. We are right.

Controversial centrist group and right-wing funded SuperPAC currently focused on creating an “independent unity ticket” that many say could serve as a “third-party spoiler” to potentially help former President Trump win back the White House in 2024.

Some say fever dream. Others say inevitable. We say, no democracy can survive without accountability mete out through the rule of law, and its equal application regardless of status, power, or position. The threat of the GOP's fascistic authoritarian movement increases with the belief that there is no accountability for people at the top.
