## Resource

Ashe in America is back after a "GART week" with a fired up episode built around one big idea: the fight for the country isn't happening in DC, it's happening in your HOA meeting, your county assembly, and your group chat. Joining her is Corey from Break the Chains Media, a fellow Colorado troublemaker she first met years ago handing out stickers at a protest. The two dig into why the two party system feels like it's cracking, what a "post partisan" politics might actually look like, and why local organizing beats waiting on Washington every time. Expect sharp takes on polling, primaries, the Overton window, and a healthy dose of "we disagree but let's talk about it anyway." There's also a Trump clip, a Van Man ad break, and Corey's parting advice on how to be a chain breaker in your own backyard. Colorado politics nerds and populists alike will find plenty to chew on.
