Stumbled onto your live podcast by accident —was trying to look something up before leaving home—stayed for the whole thing! Stick with your convictions—we need 2 HEATHY, RATIONAL parties! Godspeed
Thanks Adam for taking the time to talk to us on Substack. You always have such good information and your perspective is great. We thank you. Hopefully you’ll run for office one day.
Cynthia from Washington State. I am a Harris voter who follows you closely and I am impressed with your sharp acuity on the issues. Thank you for standing up for our country and democracy. Your January 6th role and courage to do what is right even now with Country First and backing Harris is honorable. I do hope you run for President in the future. We could use your common sense and integrity.
Liz is a born and bred GOP, but she is also smart. She knows what's at stake with Trump, and even though Harris and Walz are Dems, and she does not agree on most policies, she knows they are willing to cross aisles and do the right thing. I would like to see Liz at the Convention next week, or at least come out and endorse the Dem ticket.
It went well. The comments were hard to read in white; perhaps black type would have been better. Really enjoyed the feeling of being part of a group of people who have the same interests. Listening to your thoughts firsthand was great, Adam.
I look forward to being part of this again, if possible. Thank you!
Adam, I loved your speech on the Republicans for Harris stream.
Folks, please go watch it when you get the chance. Its an hour out of your life, and it offers such perspective.
It is an interesting look at how our Republican neighbors are feeling, and being treated, by others in their own party.
As a Democratic candidate in a very red rural part of Missouri, it's an uphill battle that many you probably can't imagine.
But... it's worth it, knowing that there ARE folks and neighbors out there willing to talk to us. We have much more in common that folks think. Love everything about this movement.
Hi Bernadette! Thank you for running for office here in Missouri. I'm hollering at ya from Springfield (Missouri in case that wasn't clear 😉). It's tough being a Blue dot in a sea of Red.
Last summer I decided to go searching for the Democrats. I'm active on Country 1st & in one of our state meetings back in 2022, the woman leading the meeting lived up in STL & was working on Trudy Busch's campaign. I said something about how isolating it was for a Democrat in Springfield. She said, "What are you talking about? You have a great Democrat Caucus down in Springfield!". I had no idea what she was talking about. After the 2022 election, I could see by the results of the state elections that she wasn't wrong. They were here, I just didn't know a single one of them!
So, in summer of 2023, I decided to go searching for them. I signed up to be an election judge (poll worker) & worked my first election last August which was just a single bond issue for adding tax to the sale of marijuana.
I met a very nice gentleman who is very involved with the party. He talked to me about being a delegate as we were talking about the parties running their own Primaries. I admitted that the primary process was probably the area I was the least familiar with as far as civics subjects go.
He explained it to me & from that day on until this spring I researched what they did & how to become one. I completed all the "steps" & on the day when the county meeting was scheduled, I walked in to the Teamsters Hall, not knowing anyone but seeing the gentleman I had worked the election with the previous August made me feel much more comfortable.
I became a state delegate at that meeting for the Missouri State Convention because everyone there became a delegate because we needed 55 of them. I said I was interested in running to be a National Delegate & I was very warmly received & encouraged.
Then when we had our congressional district meeting I ran to be a National Delegate. I hadn't spoken in front of a group of people in years (something I had once loved) & I was pretty terrified. I was elected though, one of 4! Now I'm going to the DNCC next week!
It's still pretty scary for me honestly. When I was younger I never met a stranger. I was comfortable around anyone. It's a lot different at 41 years old. Walking into a room of strangers by myself & getting to know them was way out of my comfort zone.
I'm so excited for Chicago. I'm also really nervous. I'm trying to convince myself that I am the person who goes into situations I'm unfamiliar with surrounded by people I don't know. I want to know them though.
Other than my sisters & step dad & husband & a couple of friends I have who are acquaintance friends, every close friend I have has turned out to be a Trump Republican.
I didn't know this about them when the friendship started of course as most of them are friendships I've had anywhere from 15-30 years. We're venturing back into the "not speaking to each other" territory after it seems like the friendships were just recently mended. It's sad. And kind of lonely. And it's not easy to be the one who's not like the others.
They're all so confident I'm wrong & they have that confirmed by the comments on my Facebook posts. So... I'm working on expanding my friendship circle.
I realize that there's more to a person's personality than their political affiliation. It's just that, it seems like when it comes to my friends & myself, there isn't. When they're around me, every conversation topic ends up turning political. I'm not quiet about my views & I share them on my personal Facebook page.
Yes I am active in some private groups where we can talk civics amongst friendly people but... That's not how we interrupt the echo chamber it seems like so many are in.
Also, not gonna lie, as much as I am a huge Joe Biden fan; it is a lot more fun to post political posts these days with Harris -Walz at the top of the ticket. 🙂
Remember what Jess Piper has said, even if you don't feel like you'll win your race; you're at least giving people a choice! You're also making them spend money in districts they didn't intend to have to spend money in & that means less money is available for other races. The only way we swing our state back to Purple is for Democrats to actually run in the races!
Hi Adam I’m in the uk so have no direct skin in this game but want to say it’s so refreshing to see a a conservative talking sense about trying to save democracy that will have ultimately have long consequences for all! This might be an insult (so apologies in advance) but you and Michael Moore should collaborate to help voters from both perspectives understand the facts and how their votes are so important. Thanks for taking up the mantle and putting your head above the parapet - takes courage which you obviously have in spades 🙌
As an American, I want to thank you for your interest in our politics and for sharing your thoughts here on Adam’s Substack. Hopefully you see that not all of us are crazy maga people and there are many thousands of us who want decency to return to our political system.
Adam, thought the broadcast was great both in content and accessibility. Still worried about 1) states who have chosen 2020 election deniers as election officials. 2) how Trump is laying groundwork to cry election fraud and incite his angry ‘patriots’ to take arms once again, and most recently 3)the secret video of Project 2025 and Vought revelations released by UK journalists on Thursday afternoon. Any thoughts?

Thank you for your courage during the january 6 committee ❤️
Do you expect Liz Cheney to endorse Harris-Walz ticket?

Yes, what ARE her plans— she pledged if Trump ran— she would fight him. She needs to be out there, for Harris/Walz!
yes, why has she been relatively quiet?
That's a interesting question
My husband was saying that this morning.
Man, I hope so!
Detroit. I am a a flaming progressive. I very much appreciate the conservative perspective you bring to my table.
Hi from Canada! You’ve got lots of fans north of the border cheering you on
Will you be able to speak at the democratic convention

What can be done to get the MSM to cover the alleged $20 million payment from Egypt to Donald?
I think it was 10 million..but yes!!
Thank you Adam!
My opinion is you’ve been instrumental in renewing a sense of hope for our country’s future ✌️
Harris supporter in WV. I will cast my vote for Harris in the most trumpian state in the US.
Adam, thought the broadcast was great both in content and accessibility.

Huh. Just read that Russell Vought is rumored to be considered chief of staff for next Trump administration. Even more disturbing than I first thought
For those who haven’t seen secretly recorded video. https://newrepublic.com/post/184908/donald-trump-project-2025-video
Get points that get lost in the noise of main stream media
As a Swede a Kamala /Walz ticket seems to be more pro NATO and Europe than the weird Trump/Vance
