Episode 12 - Oklahoma RINOs and Hawaii DINOs

The Blue Hawaii Podcast

Dirty Dozen! We have another unique treat for you in this episode. Did you know that Oklahoma is home to the most successful socialist movement in the history of the United States? We talk to Richardson alum and Okie native Christiaan Mitchell, Chair of the Washington County (OK) Democratic Party, about the situation on the ground during the Teachers' Strike, how trickle-down economics keeps failing middle America, and what it's like trying to recruit and organize democrats in the reddest state in the country. We also ask whether catfish poke stacks up compared to the ahi original (it doesn't). Plus, can we truly smash the patriarchy without first disassembling the insipid gendered-ness of European Romance Languages? Ryan and Josh discuss. "We're missing the underlying function of the public school system, and that is to fashion citizens -- not workers. The American public education system, understood that way, is the single greatest democratic innovation in the history of the American republic, and we've turned it into a job certification program."
