Mike, Amanda, and Brian discuss the 2018 General Primary in Delaware County and across Pennsylvania. They review the primary process, discuss voter turnout, share outrageous tales of working and volunteering, review the winning candidates, and sing a jaunty little tune. Then, the gang answers listener questions about the Santa Fe High School shooting in Texas, engaging young voters, not trusting anybody over 30, balancing leadership with the will of the people, and pie.

Episode 11 with Lindy Li May 09, 2018

Show notes

Mike, Pasquale, and Amanda have a particularly loose conversation about Amanda's acceptance to the Women's Campaign School at Yale University, the completely normal and boring 7th Congressional District special election, whether millennial enthusiasm for the Democrats is stalling out, our campaign for Democratic State Committee, a very special edition of What Did Millennials Kill This Week, and Geoffrey the Giraffe's terrible, terrible secret. Then, Pasquale and Mike sit down with Lindy Li, candidate for the 5th Congressional District, for a chat about gun policy, campaign finance reform, youth in politics, and food because of course.
