If you follow PoliticsGirl, you know where Leigh McGowan stands. But do you know how she got there? Leigh sits down with Rachel and David to talk about how her love of democracy led to the creation of her persona as Politics Girl. She talks about how her early non-partisan blog posts about basic civics made that her realize that when people understand what's going on, they get engaged. She traces the path that led to the daily TikTok/IG/Twitter rants she delivers today (with her trademark sass) that--along with her podcast and YouTube channel--are followed by hundreds of thousands of people. The conversation touches on health care, power-hungry Republicans, and the careening Car of Democracy that we can only tip back to stability by voting in numbers in the 2022 midterms. PoliticsGirl wants the 6 to 9 million Americans who live outside the country to feel their transformational power and VOTE!
