Episode notes
Republican Structural Advantages
- The Republican party's structural advantages through gerrymandering and court packing give them entrenched power.
- This allows them to block the will of the majority, creating a cycle of frustration.

- Support candidates in all races, even difficult ones, to challenge Republicans and force them to campaign.
- This holds them accountable and potentially reveals their true nature.
