Campaign consultant Eva Posner of Evinco Strategies (https://www.evincostrategies.com/) digs deep into the big questions: what's toxic in our political system, why the Democrats aren't better liked, and how having an agenda is a good thing.

She talks about how our political system is upside-down, what's really needed to win races, and the need to certify and regulate political consultants.

She also dips into how where we are now is the logical conclusion of our country's never having finished Reconstruction, the role of local campaigns in fighting Trumpism, and the strategy behind the cruelty of deportations.

On a more positive note, she also shares the triumph of helping Monica Montgomery Steppe (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monica_Montgomery_Steppe) achieve office, and the positive results that can be traced back to her first win.
