In the premiere episode of The Election Whisperer on The Cycle- On Substack the showâs first in audio-only format, Rachel recaps (as quickly as possible!) the months that have passed since the show went on hiatus. The post election period has been marked by the whole of the Republican Party enabling Trumpâs democracy-destroying multiple coup attempts. Senator Josh Hawley has gone so far as to commit to âobjectingâ to Bidenâs win on January 6th when the Senate meets to approve the Electoral College- a process that is a mere formality for the Senate, but will likely underwrite Hawleyâs 2024 presidential bid. With bodies piling up by the hour from COVID and Biden being stonewalled by key agencies for the transition, tensions are mounting as the clock continues to tick down to January 20th.

Rachel, thanks for providing such information. I have been following you for a long time. The Democrats certainly need a bold new leader and the message "whatever it is" should be clear. I don't understand why the Democrats think they have to be so nice, and wonder what the Republicans will think. Take a page from the Republicans book ... do what is best for the party!
Democrats need to launch two nationwide long-term advertising campaigns to remind voters what the party has accomplished and what government can do for everyone. The same "top-of-mind" advertising that Coca-Cola and McDonalds use. Remind voters that Democrats and unions gave us minimum wage, 40-hour work weeks, weekends, overtime pay, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, disability insurance, cleaner water, cleaner air, workplace safety, safer drugs and food, and more. Name it something simple like "Back to Basics." Then remind voters that government programs have paid for the Internet, satellite communications, computers, interstate highways, vaccines, advanced medical research, and more. Name it something simple like "For the General Welfare." These are things that ALL Americans can enjoy. The current party leadership has allowed the GOP to define the Democratic party for far too long.
Rachel, you are fearless. Thank you for bringing it. I knew when I first heard you in August 2019 on progressive radio that you were something special. The D machinery is so mamby pamby ineffective (yes, I am talking to you Tom Perez). Time for some kickass truth and real fight against GOP f'ckery. Stakes framing, damnit!! I mean Josh Awfully in a Twitter war with Walmart about salve wages! I wanted to slap him through the Twitter machine.
Great pods Rachel! And someone (rhymes with Fate Blown) owes black voters in Georgia an apology. He owes you one too, but mostly black voters in Georgia!
