Radell Lewis sits down with Zee, Founder of Sole Strategies and Executive Director of National Ground Game, the force behind the Unfuck America Tour. This conversation cuts straight to the heart of what Democrats are getting wrong and what it takes to actually win. Zee breaks down how her team has generated over 100 million organic views, raised $700,000 from small dollar donors, and flipped Escambia County blue for the first time since 1960. They tackle why TPUSA dominated college campuses for years, how Charlie Kirk built a media to ground game pipeline that Democrats still haven't replicated, and why the answer to right wing misinformation might be going lower, not higher. Radell and Zee get into the specific swing districts National Ground Game is targeting for the 2026 midterms including Ohio 7 and Wisconsin 3, why affordability should be the only Democratic message, and what Turning Point's own spokesperson admitted would scare Republicans most. If you care about youth voter mobilization, Democratic strategy, fighting extremism on campuses, or just want to hear two people who refuse to sugarcoat where the left stands right now, this episode is essential listening.
