Episode 16: Episode 16: Jack Cocchiarella talks new democratic leadership, abundance, and billionaires

On today's episode, the Jackass Bros are joined by Jack Cocchiarella to chat about democratic leadership failings and what a new democratic leadership should look like, whether or not a democratic tea party is feasibly, the new abundance trend, and whether or not billionaires should exist. 

The democratic party is in desperate need of a rebrand, remessaging, and new leadership. Adam, Ian, and Jack discuss how we can make this happen. From new, younger candidates, to existing politicians in the party not being afraid of fighting it out in public to show that dems are trying to be the best party they can be.
