I can’t tell you how many people don’t know how the process works. I’ve come across people who don’t know how gerrymandering affects or even that the local voting is also where you vote in the national election. I’ve learned a lot from this channel and refer people here often.
Think it is so important to have the generations participating in defending democracy. As the folks they represent are of all different generations.❤️❤️❤️

Gary Peters is my Representative. Love the guy...and especially how he doesn't make fool of himself for clicks. He just gets the job done. Good work Gary.
@@nancyprovence109He's a Senator not a Representative. He's also a coward who refuses to speak on Biden/Harris insane open border policies. No thanks to Gary Peters.
Thank you, Jeremy Moss! So many of the things that passed in our voter initiative have been game changers for our voters. Thanks for having this Senator on your show!
Senator Moss reminds us that a democracy is only achieved when every citizen is entitled to its Constitutional rights and freedoms - AND protection for them. ALL. Violators are not.
Another Michigander here :) Prior to watching, I didn't know much at all about Sen. Moss and all the incredible work he has done and continues to do for our state. Thank you both so much for such an informative and inspiring interview!
Yay Michigan for voting in Senator Moss! Thank you Marc for this very inspiring and informational interview. Voting is the very life blood of our democracy. Voting blue in Oregon all up and down the ballot. 💙💙💙
The full story of how this happened in Michigan is worth hearing. 1. Citizens joined forces under the banner of "Voters Not Politicians" to create a ballot proposal calling for a Citizens Redistricting Commission, which could undo gerrymandering. We collected over 425,000 signatures to place the proposal on the ballot in 2018. 2. Citizens canvassed statewide, educating voters about the proposed change and encouraging them to vote yes. It passed 61% in favor and 39% opposed. A voting rights ballot proposal also passed, enabling all people to vote by mail. Little did we know then how important this would be in 2020 due to the pandemic. 3. Meanwhile, in response to trump getting elected in 2016, many women ran for public office in 2018 and won. I had never previously seen so many people canvassing for candidates. 4. The Citizens Redistricting Commission was formed and after the 2020 census, they drew new district lines. 5. The 2022 election was the first with new districts. The outcome was that the proportion of Democrat & Republican representatives now mirrored the collective votes for each party. Dems gained the majority in the state legislature after decades of gerrymandered Republican majorities. 6. Also in 2022, a citizen-led ballot proposal to protect reproductive rights was on the ballot, along with expanded voting rights. Both passed. 7. The newly-elected Dem majority got to work right away, passing legislation to repeal a 1931 law that criminalized abortion, expanded protections for LGBTQ+ people, economic relief for low-income household, and more. In 2023 they passed 4 pieces of legislature to address gun violence. 8. A key point about the ballot proposal protecting reproductive rights .... it includes a range of rights including IVF. Advocates knew how far Republicans would reach to take rights away and built those protections into the proposal. And ... it was an amendment to the state constitution, which cannot be overturned by the state legislature. Michigan is a case study of how citizens worked in coalition to take back their power and then elected people to represent the majority. And that majority is delivering for the people.
Senator Moss, makes me proud to live Michigan.The fight for the right to vote is long and hard, we must never give up. Thank you Mark for lightning this.
Another Michigander here-a Yooper. I lived through the heavily Republican government of the 80’s-20’s and it was terrible for those of us who supported democracy and rights. The politicians destroyed unions and the cities especially my childhood hometown of Flint. I am an independent voter and have voted for some Republicans in the past including our current UP senator. Until Trump-never again. Friends did not believe me when I warned them about the lies he was telling when he ran in 2016. Support democracy and our constitutions. Thank you for your service!
reagan gutted America for cheap labor. There were so many great small towns, that just dried up. Then in true "g☠️p" fashion, they turn around & blame everyone else for why opportunities were lost. reagan was a Heritage Foundation p☠️ppet (Project 2025).
This was an EXCELENT interview and filled with important information!! I am from Detroit and feel like I am active in voter information for the people who live here. Kudos to Sen. Jeremy Moss!! We support everything you do and stand for!! Thank you, Mark, for having him on and making sure his message gets out.
Thank you fellow Michigander…Senator Jeramy Moss exposing your background and life…is commendable. You and our Representative Denise Mentzer …and of course our governor make me a proud Michigander
Thank you Mark! I'm a 63 yr old, life time Michigander. I didn't know we had Senator Jeremy Moss. Jeremy you're awesome, thank you! I've always hated politics and tried to avoid it. I'm glad you have what it takes. I love our great state Michigan! 💙💪💙
We thought politics would take care of themselves. So not paying attention got easy. Now we know not paying attention has a cost. Actually several. We are the ones who over see our elected officials.
I remember Jeremy Moss when he first started out and he would come to our little Franklin village meetings to update us. He impressed me back then and still continues to do so.
Excellent show! Well done both of you. Thanks for better educating all who watch. Senator Moss you need to send information/educational packets on how to get things done to the DNC to mass produce and send to all the other democrats in office. 👍😁
My dad would be so proud of how Michigan has gone towards democracy! I’m born/raised in CA but my dad was from Michigan and really proud of that. He was also a “yellow dog” democrat and worked in local elections. He passed before trump but lived through reagan (whom he hated, CA suffered through reagan before the nation did). I’m so happy that Michigan is showing the way to democracy!
@@CarlGerhardt1 what disastrous policies?? We had terrible smog in the 60’s & 70’s so they required additives to gas. Los Angeles has clear skies again. Dude we set the tone for the nation. We LOVE people of all ethnicities. We’re of the “mind your damn business “ when it comes to people who are different. We have a low tolerance of hate (granted there are people full of racism, misogyny in the state but it’s looked down on). We have work to do as our state which took a big hit with Reagan but we’re working on it. We also have some amazing public schools. I dunno where you live but you obviously bought the lies about California. It’s an amazing state to visit with so much cool nature!
Thanks Democratic Senator Jeremy, for fighting and fixing the Democratic rights of the people of Michigan. VOTE 💙 🗳 ☑️DEMOCRAT 2024 IN ALL ELECTIONS TO COME.
Thank you Sen. Jeremy Moss! This Democrat from Florida moved to Michigan in 2015. I never knew what freedom was until I moved to Michigan. We need to remove the Putin poke and the Republic Cons to return the party back to reality. Thank you Mark for all you do! 🤗 Vote Blue the whole way through the ballot until MAGA fades away. 🗽⚖️🌊🌊🌊🌊⚖️🗽
Thank you Mark, for all you do to save our Democracy and especially for an intelligent discussion with Jeremy Moss. We're proud of you here in Michigan.
Thank you Senator Moss for all your work on fundamental, pragmatic solutions to real voting rights issues in Michigan. Look forward to voting for you when you run for statewide office!
I left Michigan in 1973 but I returned every summer for 40 years. What transpired in those years politically shocked and saddened me. I'm glad Michigan is back on track and I thank Sen Moss for his service. He is the best of what Michigan has to offer. Forward. I ❤️ MI.
You, Sen Moss, are one of the reasons I moved to Michigan! And You, Mark, are the reason I am working in my local election office! Thank you Gentlemen!
We are emerging from a long dark gerrymandered past. Now we have Big Gretch and fair elections. It’s still hard to govern but more has got done in the past 4 years than the previous 40!
Great interview, thank you. Good to see that there are democracy champions holding office and using their given authority to serve the peoples intrests.
Hoorah, MI Senator Moss. I hope we get to have an independent redistricting commission in North Carolina. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have those in all 50 states!
My feelings too. Our North Carolina Republican Legislature has suppressed equality on every possible level...now, they are are coming after our District ,Guildord county. We are fighting to retain Kathy Hagan, a truly qualified Senator who has produced so many benefits for all citizens, specifically, the cap on cost of insulin and other drugs.
Yes! Parents putting on the news! We had dinner every night listening to Walter Cronkite. I'm old enough to remember when the evening news went from 15 minutes to 30. It was a big deal. I wonder if Ted Turner was dreaming of a 24 hr news channel at the time❤
He would be horrified to see what "news" has become. There is no integrity, no regulations. Lies have become the norm, the 24 hr news has caused "speculation news" and overpaid talking heads assume we want to hear their opinions.Very little actual news, just repugnican propaganda, lies, and pure Hateful BS. If we have no facts, we cannot make good choices. "News" isnt news anymore, for the most part.
What happens to Republicans in office if Trump wins a second term? They actually lose power. They keep their power at his whim. Thank you Marc. You are a hero.
@mistiecantey1 tRump wants to be a dictator! If that happens he will run the whole country, no courts and judges, no democrats, no republicans. No FBI, DOJ, IRS, Secret Service. No Medicare, medicaid or social security! That's a dictator and that's his goal. No constitution, no democracy! He's stated bits of this for the last 2 years but the gop is to crazy to understand! Two different "rich buddies" of his have said in interviews their first job will be to get the people that has "been after trump" these last 2 years. That's a dictator! 🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲
Gretchen Whitmer enacted more unconstitutional executive orders than Trump ever did. Even the liberals on the Michigan Supreme Court ruled against her. The Witch is a tyrant.
This same propaganda has been repackaged from previous Presidential criticism. Bush, Nixon, Reagan, Obama, Clinton and many others of both parties have been accused of being dictators who are an immediate threat to the Constitution. We hear this same crap every four years from both sides and the only thing that changes are the names. I'm not falling for this psych out scare tactics game. The issues are important and both candidates are deeply flawed. In other words, it's the same garbage we deal with each and every election in our lifetime.
Ohioan here but I'm a big fan of the state of Michigan. The Wilderness, the lakes, the wildlife, the Detroit Pistons. We say "Everything is better when taken with Michigan air." There's so much to love about the state. I hope they can work through the madness.
I’m a Michigander and so glad that we have a democrat majority in our state government. Despite every rural area voting for Rethuglicans. And I love voting by mail too!
Need some help in Louisiana Mark…the state house just passed a bill to give police complete immunity, now it goes to the senate. We need federal help asap!
Louisiana has the MOST oppressive laws in the country. Local police can do anything with no accountability. In many cases, it is perfectly legal by state laws. I'm glad I live in Michigan. Sorry for your situation.
@@eddieclark5926 I'm an artist speaking out for democracy as I always have and as you are doing, here in this venue and in all ways possible. Making headway in small ways works!
There are so many of us fighting against the abominable Republican Legilative bills canceling the strength of Democratic voters in the Guilford-Forsyth counties area. Anger is really high here ! 🙄
The idea of representation not matching those they represent is an issue taking place fairly wide spread. Make all the lines fair nation wide. Then let's see what the US Congress, and state governments look like. Things would be much diffrent.
I’m in New Hampshire now but I grew up in Michigan so the work Senator Moss is doing means a lot to me and for my family still there. Thank you both for all you are doing!
I’m a Democratic Georgian but I’m impressed with Jeremy Moss & we definitely need someone like him in Georgia if I wasn’t so old lol I would jump in to help our democracy fight against Trump😡
Subscribed! And how often do we see a politician speak at length for 40-minutes and make no gaffe, nor spin, nor outright lie? Integrity is a welcome tonic. Cheers!
Our democracy, constitutionality, government and indeed our future depends upon elected representatives like Sen. Jeremy Moss. A huge thank you to both Sen. Moss and Attorney Elias for your service, dedication and commitment to protect our democracy.
Sounds like Michigan has had as much of a problem with gerrymandering as WI. WI has finally gotten a fair map for at least State Assembly and State Senate. In WI we still have a partisan districted House where we have a 6-2 Republican partisan majority.
Mark, your job is long and tedious. You are doing a great job, and I, for one, am extremely grateful for all that you do. Keep fighting the good fight!!😃😃
Michigan Republicans: "These new laws are entirely unfair!!! How are we supposed to win if we can't gerrymander or suppress the vote?!? Does Moss think we live in a democracy or something?!?"
Gerrymandering is an unfixable bipartisan problem. Both sides engage in this behavior whenever the opportunity presents itself. Neither party has a moral high ground on this issue.
@@jefferyfite7122however Republicans have passed 500 laws to suppress the vote, mainly for minorities who generally vote Democratic If they don’t cheat they can’t win
I lived in the 3rd congressional district (historical GRFs district) for most of my 75 years until.i was gerrymandered into the 4th district. This was done under repubs.
“Our system of government cannot survive if only one party can win.” Profound words from Marc Elias and words that mean too little to too many unfortunately.
This was a great show. I feel a little sunnier knowing that we have a senator that really cares about the people. I live in Michigan and have been fed a bunch of crap about how the Republican Party is going to take Michigan over, I’m a Democrat, and now it feels a bit lighter. Thank you
This is inspiring. Thank you Both. Beyond great to hear Michigan has so far regained herself, hopefully for all time. I am glad you all are continuing to pay attention And to deliver.
Thank you Sen Moss...for protecting our voting rights and Democracy itself! And thank you Marc for having him on your platform. I learned things I didn't know even though I'm from MI. Democracy Docket is very informative!🇺🇸
✊😁 Proud lifelong Michiganian here. Most of my family are as well. I've been lucky enough to have family branches all over. So happy to see such level headed younger members that have listened when their parents were demonstrating the right thing to do in society. My mind is eased a bit, thanks. Jobs that would cover costs of rent, insurances etc. Housing And wages need to be first and foremost. PLEASE!
Wonderful podcast. Thank you both for all the hard work you are doing. I live in Florida and married to a republican who watches Fox. Your podcast is my way of keeping up with the real current political news.
thank you so much for bringing this dark stuff to light. Way to go Michigan and it is a lesson to all of us on how long it takes to correct an issue when it goes wrong.
Thanks for a great interview, and thanks to Jeremy Moss for all the work you are doing. As a Michigan Democrat, I sincerely appreciate all the things you both do for voting rights. Mark, you are the best. Go Joe.
When this Country was founded and the United States Constitution went into effect on March, 9th, 1789, you had to be a White Male that owned property for the right to vote. We have come allong way since then, we OBVIOUSLY still have a long way to go.

Huge respect for State Senator Jeremy Moss for fighting against voter suppression and gerrymandering in Michigan. We need more legislators like him.

Ohioan here but I'm a big fan of the state of Michigan. The Wilderness, the lakes, the wildlife, the Detroit Pistons. We say "Everything is better when taken with Michigan air." There's so much to love about the state. I hope they can work through the madness.
I enjoyed today's interview. I was so happy to hear from Senator Jeremy Moss. He inspired me. Thanks!
Terrific. It is really heartening to hear from such a young and handsome hero of Democracy - and Sen Moss
I’m a Michigander and so glad that we have a democrat majority in our state government. Despite every rural area voting for Rethuglicans. And I love voting by mail too!
Another Michigan voter who loves my mail in voting.
Awesome! What an uplifting and empowering interview! Thank you Marc!!!
Need some help in Louisiana Mark…the state house just passed a bill to give police complete immunity, now it goes to the senate. We need federal help asap!

That's a total violation of "Equal Protection Under the Laws" in the 14th Amendment. It SPECIFICALLY applies to States.
@@richietattersall2122 Yes…it was on the wwltv UA-cam channel.
Louisiana has the MOST oppressive laws in the country. Local police can do anything with no accountability. In many cases, it is perfectly legal by state laws. I'm glad I live in Michigan. Sorry for your situation.
Immunity from the law?!! That can't be possible can it?!! Omg!
Thank you for defending our voting rights.
This is so helpful, thank you! I’m in North Carolina and would love to help bring about independent redistricting.
@eddieclark5926 you have legions in solidarity here in NC, we can get this done.☮
@@dragonfolkstudios let me know how I can help. I’m in Charlotte.
@@eddieclark5926 I'm an artist speaking out for democracy as I always have and as you are doing, here in this venue and in all ways possible. Making headway in small ways works!
There are so many of us fighting against the abominable Republican Legilative bills canceling the strength of Democratic voters in the Guilford-Forsyth counties area. Anger is really high here ! 🙄
The idea of representation not matching those they represent is an issue taking place fairly wide spread.
Make all the lines fair nation wide. Then let's see what the US Congress, and state governments look like. Things would be much diffrent.
I’m in New Hampshire now but I grew up in Michigan so the work Senator Moss is doing means a lot to me and for my family still there. Thank you both for all you are doing!
I’m a Democratic Georgian but I’m impressed with Jeremy Moss & we definitely need someone like him in Georgia if I wasn’t so old lol I would jump in to help our democracy fight against Trump😡
Subscribed! And how often do we see a politician speak at length for 40-minutes and make no gaffe, nor spin, nor outright lie? Integrity is a welcome tonic. Cheers!
Our democracy, constitutionality, government and indeed our future depends upon elected representatives like Sen. Jeremy Moss. A huge thank you to both Sen. Moss and Attorney Elias for your service, dedication and commitment to protect our democracy.
I so appreciate this. ❤ Thank you
Sounds like Michigan has had as much of a problem with gerrymandering as WI. WI has finally gotten a fair map for at least State Assembly and State Senate. In WI we still have a partisan districted House where we have a 6-2 Republican partisan majority.
Yes my brother lives in Brillion and said the gerrymandering there was awful. Mostly Trumpers where he lives with all their lawn signs.
Mark, your job is long and tedious. You are doing a great job, and I, for one, am extremely grateful for all that you do. Keep fighting the good fight!!😃😃
His name is spelled *Marc* - but I agree.
@@lindas-k5766 thanx for the correction 😃
Michigan Republicans: "These new laws are entirely unfair!!! How are we supposed to win if we can't gerrymander or suppress the vote?!? Does Moss think we live in a democracy or something?!?"
We do, and it will be.
😂😂😂😂😂 Love the sarcasm. Good one. We all need a laugh. Thank you!❤
Gerrymandering is an unfixable bipartisan problem. Both sides engage in this behavior whenever the opportunity presents itself. Neither party has a moral high ground on this issue.
@@jefferyfite7122however Republicans have passed 500 laws to suppress the vote, mainly for minorities who generally vote Democratic
If they don’t cheat they can’t win
I lived in the 3rd congressional district (historical GRFs district) for most of my 75 years until.i was gerrymandered into the 4th district. This was done under repubs.
“Our system of government cannot survive if only one party can win.”
Profound words from Marc Elias and words that mean too little to too many unfortunately.
This was a great show. I feel a little sunnier knowing that we have a senator that really cares about the people. I live in Michigan and have been fed a bunch of crap about how the Republican Party is going to take Michigan over, I’m a Democrat, and now it feels a bit lighter. Thank you
Thank you Jeremy and thank you Michiganders for abandoning the Chaos Party, GOP
Thank you #SenatorJeremyMoss. We need more people like you in every state. God bless you.
#Harris/Walz2024 👏🏼🗳️💙🇺🇸
VOTE 🔵 DOWN BALLOT
This is inspiring. Thank you Both. Beyond great to hear Michigan has so far regained herself, hopefully for all time. I am glad you all are continuing to pay attention And to deliver.
A vote for Biden is a vote for Democracy. I will remember your name. (Can not afford rent in Fl) we need a new governor
Thank you both
(Upper) Michigander here! Thank you all for your hard work! I voted for Gov. W, J. Benson and AG Nessel!
🗽💙
Thank you Sen Moss...for protecting our voting rights and Democracy itself! And thank you Marc for having him on your platform. I learned things I didn't know even though I'm from MI. Democracy Docket is very informative!🇺🇸
✊😁 Proud lifelong Michiganian here. Most of my family are as well.
I've been lucky enough to have family branches all over. So happy to see such level headed younger members that have listened when their parents were demonstrating the right thing to do in society. My mind is eased a bit, thanks. Jobs that would cover costs of rent, insurances etc. Housing And wages need to be first and foremost. PLEASE!
THANK YOU, MARC ✊✊✊‼️
That was an awesome 'ray of hope' interview. Never give up folks !!!
Righteous humans - thank you from Canada 💙💙💙
Wonderful podcast. Thank you both for all the hard work you are doing. I live in Florida and married to a republican who watches Fox. Your podcast is my way of keeping up with the real current political news.
thank you so much for bringing this dark stuff to light. Way to go Michigan and it is a lesson to all of us on how long it takes to correct an issue when it goes wrong.
Great episode!! Glad to hear Michigan Democrats are accomplishing good things!
Thanks for a great interview, and thanks to Jeremy Moss for all the work you are doing. As a Michigan Democrat, I sincerely appreciate all the things you both do for voting rights. Mark, you are the best. Go Joe.
The penalty for voter intimidation and suppression should be life in prison.
Replay- glad to hear this-so proud to be a Michigander
I donate monthly to Democracy Docket. Best money I've ever spent.
Michigan is a wonderful beautiful state
What a shining star! 💙💪
When this Country was founded and the United States Constitution went into effect on March, 9th, 1789, you had to be a White Male that owned property for the right to vote.
We have come allong way since then, we OBVIOUSLY still have a long way to go.
When we say ownership of property we're including living chattel, enslaved folks
