Your Vote, Your Power

This episode of Civic Shift, hosted by Ji-Woo and featuring 2026 Congressional Candidate Felix M. Seier (Maryland’s 3rd District), dives deep into the often-overlooked power of primary elections. While the general election in November gets the most headlines, the real decisions shaping the ballot happen months earlier. Felix and Ji-Woo break down the different primary systems across the U.S. and explain how understanding your state’s rules—from open primaries to strict registration deadlines—can give you real agency in an unpredictable political year. Key Takeaways: * The "Real" Election: In many partisan districts, the winner of the primary is effectively guaranteed to win in November. * Primary Types: * Open Primaries: States like Georgia, Texas, and Wisconsin allow voters to choose which party's primary to participate in on election day. * Deadline-Driven: States like Florida, Arizona, and Pennsylvania require party affiliation changes weeks in advance. * Top-Two/Four Systems: In California and Alaska, all candidates appear on one ballot, and the top vote-getters move on regardless of party. * Call to Action: Don't wait until November. Check vote.gov [http://vote.gov] or your state election board to know your deadlines and exercise your power early.

aflevering The Executive Takeover | Congress and Immigration Discourse artwork

The Executive Takeover | Congress and Immigration Discourse

This episode of Civic Shift dives deep into a phenomenon researchers call "The Executive Takeover." While the 2018 family separation crisis sparked a national outcry, the way Congress discussed immigration barely budged. 📉 Join host Jiwu and 2026 Congressional candidate Felix M. Seier (Maryland’s 3rd District) as they analyze a massive dataset of 830,000 tweets from the 115th Congress. They reveal how the White House has seized control of deportation policy while a gridlocked Congress uses social media for base mobilization rather than actual governance. Key Takeaways: * Executive Dominance: The Executive Branch now holds unprecedented control over immigration through administrative actions. * Rhetorical Stasis: Despite the 2018 crisis, the moral language used by politicians remained locked in partisan patterns—Democrats focusing on "care" and Republicans on "authority". * Messaging vs. Governance: Platforms like Twitter are being used for strategic signaling to voters rather than legislative deliberation. * Distorted Policy Making: This shift leads to unstable, emotionally charged policy-making that further polarizes the public. Is Congress still a meaningful check on power, or has the "Executive Takeover" changed the game for good? 🎙️

aflevering The Price of a Voice artwork

The Price of a Voice

In the debut episode of CIVIC SHIFT, co-hosts Ji-Woo and Felix M. Seier—2026 congressional candidate for Maryland’s 3rd District—pull back the curtain on the hidden mechanics of modern civic life. Together, they explore the complex intersection of money, power, and the cost of speaking out in a digital age that promises a level playing field but often delivers a manufactured consensus. From the staggering scale of a $27 million Texas Senate race quarter to the personal risks faced by whistleblowers and independent journalists, Felix and Ji-Woo examine how financial capital dictates reach and visibility. They challenge the illusion of "free" speech in an era where algorithms and expensive "amplification gear" determine who is heard and who is buried in the noise. Join the conversation as they discuss the urgent need for platform transparency and the enduring power of a single, unbought voice to disrupt the status quo.
