Engaging as a Voter When Ideals Clash with Reality
Over the weekend I did a poll on X and today on the podcast we’re dissecting this striking poll that lays bare the inner turmoil of the Republican Party, where loyalties are split, and the concept of 'BETTA' candidates (hat tip to my husband)—those deemed BEtter Than The Alternative—comes into sharp focus. As we approach another heated election season, understanding why some voters might opt for established candidates over newcomers can illuminate much about our current political climate.
This episode goes beyond the voting booth, underscoring the indispensable role of civic engagement in shaping our democracy. From the local legislative skirmishes that could gradually shift the balance of power, to the broader implications of citizen involvement in policy-making, we're tackling how your proactive participation can make a tangible difference. You'll be prompted to consider the power of holding elected officials to account, ensuring they accurately represent the people who put them in office.
Tune in for an empowering discussion that’s sure to leave you informed and motivated to take on your role in the democratic process with vigor and purpose. And please come back here and leave me a comment with your thoughts. I’d love to hear if you agree or disagree - how can we fix this culture in our country?
