Episode 3: “Because I was working for a Republican campaign, in a very liberal area, I did not realize how much backlash I would get working for them. As an intern, what they made me do is go out to these street fairs. I would go out in the public, knock on doors, hand out the literature for the candidate. As a 16-year-old girl, the amount of backlash I received from normal, everyday citizens just yelling at me, ‘You are just supporting Trump! You are a xenophobe! You are anti-Semitic!’ But they do not know anything about me, and they are just spitting out words to a 16-year-old girl lined up at a street fair just handing out political literature for a candidate. I think that was my very first experience with how this world can be really ugly and how there is so much prejudice. And, this is not just for me. I am sure if you go to Alabama, for example, and a Democrat is handing out literature, the same thing exists. This is not just Republican backlash, but it also exists in other certain conservative areas when you are campaigning for Democrats.” – Arielle Fishler

In this week’s episode, we had an amazing conversation with Arielle Fishler that covered a wide variety of topics including what it really means to be conservative, the US-Israeli relationship, anti-Semitism, what it’s like working on a campaign, 2020, the future of our political system, and much much more. Listen till the end for a special announcement (especially for those who would like to be on the podcast in the future)!

If at any point you are unfamiliar with what we were talking about, we have tried to put links to some articles and videos at the end of the description on this episode, and hopefully they will give you a bit more context.
