Purple Political Breakdown

The current landscape of politics in this era is arguably the most ideologically split it's ever been. We have people on the left and right, liberal and conservative, democrat and republican who utterly despise one another and most times refuse to even have a discussion. So I'm here to push the needle and force conversation amongst the most controversial and informative topics in Society! This is the Purple Political Breakdown a new podcast that will change the way we view politics.

Talarico vs Paxton: Can James Talarico Flip Texas for the First Time Since 1988?

Next in my Senate series: Texas, James Talarico vs Ken Paxton. Early voting turnout is surging, polls call it a toss up, and Democrats have not won a Texas Senate race since 1988. I break down Paxton's record (securities fraud charges, the whistleblower firings, his 2023 impeachment, and refusing to debate), the attacks on Talarico over the border, trans issues, and "God is nonbinary," and why a Christian Democrat might be exactly what Texas needs.

Podcast Host

Navigating the vast amount of bouncing around the political spectrum my entire life I have finally figured something important out. It doesn't matter. I've been religious, been in the military, went to a liberal school and all in all none of the political biases matter. We shouldn't let toxic discourse cloud our judgement and find a solution through logic and conversation. In pursuit of this mission I created this podcast to focus on these important conversations.
