Hey folks,
I sat down with Evan Turnage — 33 years old, running for Congress in Mississippi’s 2nd — and we didn’t hold back. We talked about the SAVE Act, voter suppression, corporate corruption, generational change, and what it actually means to fight like hell in this moment. This wasn’t theoretical. It was urgent.
Here’s what we got into:
[00:01:07] Evan breaks down how the SAVE Act would function as modern-day voter suppression — and why Mississippi is ground zero for what happens when voting rights are weakened.
[00:04:21] We dig into the idea of “nationalizing elections” — and whether Democrats should be just as aggressive in protecting voting rights as Republicans are in restricting them.
[00:09:33] Evan explains why he’s primarying a 33-year incumbent in the poorest district in the poorest state in America — and why “entrenchment” is different from experience.
[00:12:53] The Price Gouging Prevention Act, the No Kings Act, and what it looks like to actually write legislation instead of just talking about it.
[00:15:16] Corporate money, private prisons, AIPAC, stock trading bans — Evan lays out what a clean Democratic Party should look like if we’re serious about taking on corruption.
This conversation is about more than one race. It’s about what kind of Democratic Party we want. One that plays defense and protects the status quo? Or one that fights — creatively, aggressively, relentlessly — for working people. If you value honest conversations like this, help me keep them going.
