Somehow will be home to the majority of Americans - it’s a utopian political party
John Wood in MO
Is it actually “centrist”
If the GOP is going full authoritarian is this like when the Republican Party replaced the Whigs in 1850’s
The language on the website suggests a disclaiming of culture war BS

Rachel on Slack: The national picture will probably be shakier than these fucking twits think it will be (I honestly believe w/out Trump, you don’t HAVE a national movement like this) but could these nitwits grab house seats in OK, MO, IN, IA, AK, KS, etc? You betcha.

Kentucky Blue In 2022 Grass, A Chat with Conor Halbleib, (D-KY5th) Jul 26, 2022

Show notes

Host: Adam Sommer @Adam_Sommer85

Guest: Conor Halbleib @conor_halbleib

Picture for me a candidate for US Congress in south-eastern Kentucky.

https://conor4kentucky.com/events/

https://secure.actblue.com/donate/conorhalbleibforcongress

This part of the state is miles from what you likely know of Kentucky, hours from Louisville, Frankfort, and Lexington. Sandwiched between West Virginia to the North east and Virginia to the direct East, touching Northern Tennessee. It’s coal country. No major towns, little access to national highways, with the Cumberland plateau and Cumberland mountains as major features.

If you’re a Jason Isbell fan you’ve heard of this area - and my guest for this chat could be a protagonist in an Isbell song himself.

Do you have that candidate in your mind?

Good. Now here is my chat with Conor Halbleib - a Progressive Democrat running in the Kentucky 5th District
