2 - Spoiled

Party of One

What would happen if we stopped buying the line that asking for what we want is somehow bad? Republicans or Democrats not your thing? Then you’re a disruptive asshole spoiling it for everybody else. Is it an accident that things are like this? You know better than that. Listen to find out who’s really spoiled by this system, and why how we vote really does make a difference, even if it’s not how you might think.

Special thanks to guests Angela Walker, Aaron Hamlin, and Lee Drutman.

From Maffick Podcasts, Party of One. Written, hosted, and produced by Amanda Getty and Gregory Haddock. Theme song by Jonathan Hurley. Production assistance by Charles Davis and Ryan Wentz.
