In this episode of Branding Democrats, we welcome the progressive creator Shauna, known as @WonderlandNews on TikTok. Known for her coverage of global events and their impact on American politics, Shauna shares her approach to staying informed.

In this episode, we discuss the rise of right-wing governments across the world, where Shauna articulates her concerns about a global ideological shift. She introduces the "horseshoe theory," which argues that extreme political ideologies often closely resemble each other.

We talk about the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), and how Trump’s withdrawal from this partnership has undermined global labor standards and facilitated a race to the bottom in global wages. This is something she wishes more Americans knew about because it affects both American workers and international labor markets.

The conversation shifts to how Democrats can better leverage their successes, especially in terms of managing the economy and improving healthcare access. We challenge the false idea that GOP tax policy is better for the average American, highlighting instead their preference for a system that disproportionately benefits the wealthy at the expense of middle and lower-income groups.

In this episode of the Branding Democrats podcast, we welcome back Claudio Vallejo, a progressive creator out of Texas, better known as @whatsupcv.

This week, the discussion centers on Donald Trump's recent conviction on multiple felony counts and its implications as the election looms close.

We talk about why President Joe Biden's campaign is notably reserved in its response to Trump's legal woes. Claudio gives his take on the strategic silence of Biden's campaign and the Democratic Party's general approach to politeness and morality in political warfare. We express concerns about the Democrats' lack of aggressive counter-narratives, especially in response to the Republicans' exploitation of Hunter Biden's legal troubles and other GOP talking points.

The discussion shifts to the societal impact of conspiracy theorists like Marjorie Taylor Greene and the Republican Party's failure to push back against extremist elements within its ranks. We talk about how the MAGA GOP abandons substantive policy-making in favor of sensationalism and fear-mongering. Meanwhile, Democrats are trying to fight for the people and get policy passed.

We wrap up the episode reflecting on the historical context of current political challenges and underscoring the stakes of the upcoming election. America needs us to show up in November!

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Ariel Morel, CEO and Founder of O³ Consulting Group, to discuss a critical issue: the need for reform in the U.S. Supreme Court's appointment process. Our conversation focuses on the importance of introducing term limits for Supreme Court justices, a proposal aimed at enhancing fairness and responsiveness in the judiciary.

Dr. Morel delves into his motivations for creating a popular petition on change.org to introduce term limits, driven by recent judicial decisions that have adversely affected marginalized and underrepresented communities, including the rollback of affirmative action and women's rights.

As the conversation unfolds, we explore the broader consequences of not having term limits, including the risk of justices becoming ideologically rigid and disconnected from contemporary issues. We discuss the mechanics of implementing term limits and the potential for such reforms to foster a judiciary that better reflects the diversity and dynamics of the American populace.

America does not have to be ruled by an unelected council of high priests. Let’s do something about it. Sign Dr. Ariel Morel’s petition below.
