In this interview, our host Jack DiPrimio is joined by two special guests to discuss the historic walk-out of Democrats in the Texas State House of Representatives over the harmful Texas Voting Rights Bill proposed by Texas Republicans, even in the face of the Texas Republicans motion to formally arrest absent members. Zach Ganz, an intern for TX Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D) and supporter of the walk-out, provides an overview of the bills which forced the House Democrats to take such measures and explains how these bills harm underrepresented and minority populations in the state. Sam Weinberg, Founder of Path to Progress and its predecessor Settle for Biden, joins Jack to discuss what this move by Democrats means in terms of how politicians can and should approach damaging, dangerous, and oppressive bills. Additionally, Sam talks about the broader scope of American politics, progressivism vs. neoliberalism, and where he sees the Biden Administration trending towards.
