Subscribe on Patreon and hear this week's full patron-exclusive episode here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/132134082 Beatrice speaks with William C. Anderson about the liberal tendency to limit political action to voting while simultaneously blaming victims of the electoral system for their own oppression (e.g. dismissal of the south as somehow “deserving” Republican control). We also discuss how this tendency towards indirect democracy vs direct democracy can spur despair and resignation, and how to resist it.

Note: This episode was originally released for patrons on September 23rd, 2024 and is being re-aired today in reponse to the Supreme Court's ruling in the case, as Artie explains at beginning of the episode. To support the show and help make episodes like this one possible, become a patron at www.patreon.com/deathpanelpod Beatrice and Jules discuss an amicus brief Jules co-authored for the Supreme Court case United States v. Skrmetti, a case heard at the court this week that could have a dramatic impact on young people’s access to medical transition. We talk through the brief and the historical evidence it contains dispelling popular myths that trans kids are new or that transition is itself dangerous, and show that medical transition and youth transition have histories stretching back far further than popular accounts would lead you to believe.
