Politically Minded Gal
Hi, I am Ashley Crosby and I am a politically-minded gal who believes that words matter. And none matter more than those spoken or used by the individuals we elect to a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. So, in this podcast, I strive to take an unbiased approach to examine the meaning of the words used by modern-day and historical political influencers. So, when it is our turn to vote, to govern, and to lead, we are better educated and informed than the generations before us who have left us with a mess. Subscribe and join me on this journey to better understand the impact the words of our leaders have on our future. And what we can do about it.

Episode 17
In this episode, we do something different together. We explore what defines democracy, examine what history has taught us about how they die, and what can be done to keep them alive.
Given the current polarization in American politics, is there a more important subject as we head into the 2024 election cycle?
The information shared in this episode was gathered during a two-week summer seminar I participated in at Northwestern University.
