Crawdads and Taters Episode 2
HR1's Poison Pills and the Ratcheting of the Overton Window with Boss Tweed and Reagan Democrats
I am happy to announce that Erin and I have released a new episode of our podcast - Crawdads and Taters: Red State Rebels!
You can find it here: https://anchor.fm/crawdads-and-taters
In this episode:
We look at how Democratic bills like HR-1, while purporting to rescue “democracy” from Republican attacks on voting rights, simultaneously increase the corporate funding of our elections, shifting more power to the ruling-class and further eliminating the chances of third parties to meaningfully participate in the US electoral system. We also talk about the Ratchet effect and the Overton Window, using HR-1 as an example of how these rightward political shifts are constantly happening in real time.
