Political Space

So, since I’ve restricted my US Politics watching to a few hours per day, I have a lot more time on my hands.

Because I live in the Caribbean, the best place to think is at the beach.

At the beach on Sunday, I started to think, if the Right Wing can start with a tiny grain of truth, make up a whole load of extraneous s**t and call it a conspiracy theory, why can’t I.

So I dug deep and realised, I actually do have a fully thought out cons...

I’m sick of people telling me that I know nothing because I’m ‘not an american’ - which is ridiculous because outsiders get a better overview, but…🤷🏽‍♀️

And I’m sick of people telling me I‘m not helping…

So before you come at me, HEAR ME OUT, then at least you will be informed.

If you think I know nothing listen to this post - look at the date - Project 2025 was published in Dec 23!

And if you think I’ve not been giving advice, I’ve created an Advice series - bottom of each p...

Very few of you are using your social media Platforms to the fullest.

Please consider this advice…

It might get rant-y but bear with it 😁

As always, please read the disclaimer below BEFORE coming at me:

You were sold exceptionalism and thought your suffering was freedom.

Social media is changing all of that, now Unitedstatians can see the world…

Dear Unitedstatians

You’re feeling frustrated and want to do something?

Welcome to my frank, but practical guide to get started.

I hope this helps…

Please listen to the disclaimer below BEFORE you come for me 😁

I made this in June 2025, I didn’t post it because I was concerned I might be wrong and I should let Unitedstatians cook… Eventually they’d work out for themselves they had a tyrannical government…

Surely…

But it think it’s time…

Just leaving this here:

Most of this, I have said before, but as I, suddenly and weirdly, now have a few new followers, I thought I’d get everything out again in the hopes some people might hear me…

As I keep saying, when people ask what they can do, I always say,

“Something”

This is my something… 💜

So, everyone’s talking about it, of course I have my own take, I’ve not heard anyone say what I’ve been thinking, so I have to say it myself 😁

The Democratic Party does not have any (even halfway decent) Strategists, so I thought this amateur strategist should give them a clue…🤦🏽‍♀️

Enjoy

Everyone is talking about Marjorie Taylor Greene, so of course I had to add my tuppence worth 😁

As always my take is possibly hot, but definitely different to the talking heads and pundits…

It’s just how my brain works 🤷🏽‍♀️

Enjoy!

Of course I have thoughts on Mamdani, I’ve been listening to everyone tie themselves in knots on cable news… it’s embarrassing, really…🤦🏽‍♀️

Anyway, here are my thoughts, soon to be heard on the MSNBC & CNN in around a week to two weeks‘ time 😁

Also:

Why not run for something yourself?

NOTE:

IF YOU AGREE WITH THIS AND YOU HAVE ANY CONTACTS WITHIN THE MEDIASPHERE CAN YOU PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH UTMOST URGENCY.

THANK YOU

I’ve been patiently waiting for the democracy-loving centre/left wing US Mediasphere to realise the threat is existential and they really need to pivot.

It’s not enough to report and lament, it’s time to organise and oppose, your life LITERALLY depends on it…

Not immediately, but it’s definitely coming…

Read the history books!

E Jean Carroll’s Substack here<...

It‘s really none of my business, but I think it’s time for you to remember…

No-one puts Baby in the corner…

It’s time for you all to stop cowering, stop asking men to take notice, asking men to give a damn about your lives. It’s time for you to take control.

Work together to get rid of them.

A 100% from top to bottom women candidates, no men allowed.

Work together to gain power - Focus on the things that you ALL agree on

There’s noth...

Are you asking yourself, “but what can I do?”

Ever helpful, I, once again, wanted to impart some historical advice.

This podcast may be very useful for white women in particular, I think this really is your time to shine!

If you think someone should hear this, feel free to share 😁

Otherwise have a good week and get those petty thinking caps on. 😈

Here’s the episode I referred to:

Let me make this clear, I am a huge fan of all three, they are the only ones I can bear to hear this bonkers news from.

However…

because I am a former educator, I can’t help, but have some notes…

Enough defence, it’s time to go on the offensive, I have some suggestions for a reframe…

So Unitedstatians have finally spoken up en masse.

It took you long enough but good job 👏🏾👏🏾

It’s the perfect moment for a democrat to step into the leadership void.

Someone must harness that public anger and rage and go on the OFFENCE!

No notes, not speechwriters, no focus group, harness your rage, express it from your soul!

History awaits the brave…

Who will step up?

Let’s see…

Hi there, Cassandra here 👋🏾 (IYKYK😁)

I’ve been saying “time is running out” and Amerikkkans are pushing back saying, “but we’re protesting…”

Yes, you are, but in order to protest effectively you need to understand that the window for legal protest is rapidly closing…

Beware of normalisation….

Good Luck and May you find your way back! 💜

I have no love for this person. In fact I despise him with every fibre of my being…

However, and please know this is only said begrudgingly, he has probably one of the best, most dastardly and Machiavellian political minds I have ever had the disturbing honour to observe (fairly up close)

So please, if you know anyone in the Democratic Party please pass this on!

🙌🏾

I’m going to rant, I rant hard 😁

If you are offended by swear words, DO NOT LISTEN and it’s probably best if you unsubscribe, cos I like to swear for emphasis and there’s plenty to emphasise 👀

As mentioned in the episode, find below, my first American politics podcast and the bus analogy.

I’m trying to focus on my American friends, but you keep making it too funny not to laugh.

I also regain my seriousness to give you a positive view of the future…

Good Luck & God speed, Amerikkka

I am so sick of listening to the same idiot talking heads who needed a debate to realise that Biden shouldn’t be the candidate. The same idiots that just listen to each other… I’m sick of hearing their nonsensical and occasionally misogynistic takes on why the Dems lost

It’s not that hard.

The Democratic Party doesn’t have strategists who know strategy…

They missed a very simple thing…

In case you don’t believe how easy I made it, this was my under 3 min analogy for why Biden wasn’t the guy b...

I had to say it… 🤷🏽‍♀️

Clear up your own mess…

I got it very wrong!

I admit it, so here’s my personal autopsy of “The Inevitable Demise of The United States of America”

Lessons from History

Note: when I said they built Dachau, I meant they built the crematorium at Dachau towards the end of the war. Dachau was built in 1933.

I’m writing this on Sunday 3rd November, knowing that by the end of next week, all we’re gonna be hearing is,

“OMG WHO COULD HAVE PREDICTED THAT!”

And to those people, I say…

ME! I predicted it. I’ve been shouting it for over a year…

For the cheap seats, I’ll make it clear.

No, it was never a close race.

Yes, her results can be positively compared with Obama numbers.

No, she didn’t need to be stuck in the swing states

No...

I‘m genuinely baffled, help me understand…

Before you ask who am I to give advice, I‘m no one… except…

I knew a week before the debate, the only path to victory for the democrats was to relieve Joe Biden of his duty, (2 min summary of my thinking here)

so I’ve been running scenarios for the past year.

I know this is all new to you but it‘s happening believe it, the longer you doubt it, the more time you‘re wasting…

I‘m already seeing opportunities lost and mistakes being considered (VP pick), I am going to do m...

Yes, I attempted to warn the Democratic Party that they had a candidate problem on June 15th 2024, about a week before the debate that freaked everyone out. For the first time in weeks, I enjoyed watching Morning Joe, the shock on Joe’s face, the denial on Mika’s 🤣…

Anyway this is the podcast I published, I would recommend listening before listening to my victory lap. I did get one thing wrong, I didn’t think America was ready for Kamala Harris, I WAS VERY VERY WRONG - THEY’RE READY -

SHE READY!

If you enjo...

Having had a year to think about it, remember I warned you back in July last year that it was coming… see episode below. This is what I would do with Project 2025

My warning from last year

As “No Skin in the Game” Amanda, I would like to voice an outside opinion and debunking what I see as the most common myths.

This is the one that really pisses me off - saying the race is tied, like that’s a good thing 🤦🏽‍♀️

I’m not one of your fancy talking heads, I’m just an observer with a very particular set of skills, buy me a drink and I’ll tell you all about them 😁

It’s 15mins. Surely you can spare 15 mins to hear an alternative “No Skin in the Game” viewpoint?

T...

I know people are scared. The whole world is scared. That’s why the Democrats need to seriously have the conversation. Preferably behind closed doors. If in public, it has to be serious and respectful. If you do a candidate selection, the candidates must pledge that it’s a vision/policy only debate. They will put forward their vision of their presidency and let people decide. It can be a chance to emphasise that the Democrats want to get things done. It’s just a matter of what things the party wants to prioritise.

That’s my suggesti...

Both Parties have the same problem, the old white man problem. But neither party will come right out and admit it.

It’s time you face the problem, because only then can you start to solve it…

BTW

Thanks to my Gentle Listener, Ms Irish Mouse, I’ve decided to make a pushback to the pushback, before the push starts 🤣🤣

Pushback to the Pushback

Enjoy

PS - If you want to know in under 3 mins why I believe Biden isn’t the one, listen to this:

So, after having the time and space to analyse all the data in my brain, I’ve come to one conclusion…

I *BLAME KELLY ANN

and definitely not exclusively, but I believe she was the start of the utter lawlessness that now pervades the US.

But, as I always say, first, hear me out…

I know I said that my Final Plea episode was going to be the last one, but with this whole 4B movement and Milennial/Gen-Z feminism, I feel the need to say this again… I think there’s still time…

So, you want to talk immigration, America?

I call it the first big lie that you swallowed…

BE BETTER, AMERICA!*

*Melania‘s phrase has been adjusted for… I dunno, basic grammar 🤦🏽‍♀️ Be Best? That still pisses me off 🤬

In case you forgot

I’ve been warning about this for months (since July to be exact - link below)

But maybe now that all the ‘real, serious’ journalists, commentators and pundits have caught up and are finally sounding the alarm about your tippy-toe journey into Totalitarianism, maybe you will allow me to move the discussion along…

I thought of a fun way to explain my thinking with the Schoolbus Analogy

(The full episode is here)

Listen to my previous warning here :

This is my way of explaining how I see America.

In case you’ve not been following, I give a series recap on what’s been happening on America! The Sitcom.

This is truly comedy gold, the toddlers are running around unsupervised, they’re desperately trying to spice up vanilla and I have no clue where the whole Hunter Biden plot line is going, but it lost me at ‘lied on a form’ 👀 Terrible writing…

All I know is the writers are underutilising the Democratic Congresspeople, they need to introduce a comedy storyline (and feed some writers).

Couple of additional thoughts…

You do understand...

Thank you for being willing to hear me out… This will be my last US Politics post until conviction or election, whichever comes first 😁

There’s some things that have occurred to me since recording last week.

Am I getting Rachel’s question wrong?

Because none of the hosts seem to be framing it right 🤷🏽‍♀️ Ayman got it spectacularly wrong on Sunday, but imho Velshi is almost there… I’m glad the ideas are in the ether, it’s gratifying to discover my paradigm shift tingly sense is still in full working order…

HOWEVER
