This is obviously not the sort of thing that will find a huge audience outside of the Salem, Oregon area, but it strikes me as a good model for what local progressive politics might look like at a time when national politics will be an unending torrent of horribleness. www.yahoo.com/news/salem-p...

One notable thing about that Demobrats podcast is how normal and relatable the two hosts sound. This stands in stark contrast to the very weird and conspiracy obsessed podcast hosted by the former chair of the Marion County Republican Party. sethcotlar.substack.com/p/down-the-d...
