2024 Election Special

Was the election stolen? Yes. Through voter suppression; a criminal lack of institutional support, especially after MAGA stole voting machine data from Georgia; a dominant far-right echochamber across all media platforms; several Russian operations including buying MAGA influencers; oligarch consolidation; mainstream media capitulation; and good old fashioned racism, misogyny, and homophobia and transphobia that has long plagued this country.

Why did so many Democratic Senators in battleground states win when Kamala Harris didn't? One reputable pollster explained to Andrea that it's likely due to Independents voting for Trump then splitting their ballot by voting for the moderate Senators. Kamala Harris may have ran as a centrist, but she was painted as a communist who will give your kids sex change operations at school and raise your taxes. Plus, she's Black.

In this election super special, Andrea and Terrell fact check the blame game running rampant right now and help us stay grounded for the horrors ahead. Thank you to all who joined our post election salon over Zoom. We're meeting every Monday at 4pm ET and recording at least the first 30 minutes for those who cannot be there. Andrea shared her guide on how best to use this time across social media platforms, for those who want to amplify these warnings for others, to help our communities brace for impact:
