This Is What Democracy Feels Like?
Manage episode 504878972 series 2540317
In the season finale of We Vote Too, host Leise Winny steps up to the mic—solo—to unpack the chaotic, confusing, and critically urgent state of democracy in 2025.
This isn’t just a recap. It’s a reality check.
From voter suppression laws and court power grabs to gerrymandering and rising public distrust, we break down exactly what’s happening, where democracy stands, and how we move forward. With real-world examples, court wins, and tools for action, this episode is part explainer, part pep talk, and part rallying cry.
If you’ve been feeling like democracy is dying in broad daylight, you’re not alone. But you’re not powerless either.
