This week on Not Suitable for Democracy, host Nick sits down with Skylar Moore, a queer activist and former 2022 Judicial Delegate candidate, to unpack one of the most overlooked—and undemocratic—parts of our political system: the judicial convention.

If you’ve never heard of it, that’s the point. Skylar walks us through how New York State Supreme Court judges are "vetted," how a lack of transparency dominates the process, and why that should matter to anyone who cares about justice.

We also dive into the intersections of queer activism in the second era of Trump, the barriers to entry for grassroots candidates, and what it means to organize around queer rights in every corner of the country.

Whether you're interested in running for office or not, you'll be sure to learn a lot.
