Episode 243: The Failed State Of America

Summary: A pandemic is ravaging communities across the country, state-sanctioned murder of unarmed black Americans happens regularly, widespread voter suppression hasn’t been this prevalent in decades… it’s time to face the fact that America is not a democracy, nor is it a functioning regime. America is a failed state. We’ll discuss this week’s events that make that conclusion obvious—George Floyd, Trump’s attack on mail-in voting, GOP’s renewed effort to gut social security, etc.—and close the show with an uplifting interview featuring 2020 candidate for the U.S. Senate Paula Jean Swearengin.
