Gen Z
Gen Z
Gen Z is the generation born beginning in 2000. They are the largest and most diverse generation is US history, as well as one of the most politically engaged breaking youth voter turnout records in 2018, 2020, and 2022. Most frequently voting for Democrats, the majority of Gen Z identify as political independents. They are complete digital natives who have grown up with social media as a major means of connection and communication, and, because of that, are more connected to peers internationally than any previous generation. They have also grown up under the threat of climate change, school mass shootings, and a global pandemic. Despite these challenges, they are funny, ironic, positive, organized, solutions-oriented, and an excellent reason to be hopeful for the future. In short, R2 loves Gen Z.
Democratic Party
Democratic Party
The only major political party in the US that believes in democracy or that the United States currently is one, as the GOP en masse refuses to acknowledge that Joe Biden is the legitimately elected POTUS. Currently humiliating the Republican Party in the 2022 midterm elections.
US Midterm Elections
US Midterm Elections
In 2022, the Midterm Elections were an opportunity for Republicans across the country to enjoy the fruits of their labors from the past six years by having the worst midterm election showing by the party out of power in 40 years. Seems Americans like democracy. We cannot pretend that means they'll abandon violence, fascism, and autocracy. Also see: GOP in disarray. Also see: FAFO
US Presidential Elections
US Presidential Elections
The election of the president and the vice president of the United States is an indirect election in which citizens of the United States who are registered to vote in one of the fifty U.S. states or in Washington, D.C., cast ballots not directly for those offices, but instead for members of the Electoral College.

Why Alex thinks this is just another long-term problem the Republican Party faces post Trump. Plus - Joe's take on what Democrats can rally around, right now - and his unique idea to unite the Trump opposition sooner rather than later.

    Joe and Alex lead today's pod with some good news - but not for Trump! Why wins in Minnesota and Iowa are good signs as we gear up for Virginia and NJ this year - and for 2026. How can Democrats' message evolve? Why Joe views this as a long-term battle - and we can win it. What does Trump's freeze fiasco tell us about what's coming? Turns out, when you put the Project 2025 guys in charge... they try to implement Project 2025. And one radical idea Democrats might want to look to as a way to unify against Trump.
