About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of the upcoming midterm elections and what voters can expect from the Democratic Party.

On episode 133 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers ask: i f Democrats get the majority after this year’s midterms, then what?    We’ve seen Democrats win the senate, the house, and the presidency––and they still couldn’t protect the right to vote (or get an abortion) from future Republican administrations.
