Beyond Left and Right: The Digital Politics Revolution

In this episode of the Lean to the Left Podcast, we explore the pressing issues with America's current political landscape, such as big money's influence and lack of genuine representation.


Our guest, Travis Misurell, founder of the Future is Now Coalition (FINC), discusses his groundbreaking initiative to build a citizen-owned political ecosystem that challenges establishment control and promotes democracy, going beyond left and right in a new digital politics revolution.


Travis shares insights on digital politics, the movement's progress, how people can get involved, and the importance of focusing on up vs. down politics rather than left vs. right.


Tune in to learn how this innovative framework aims to modernize activism and give every citizen a louder voice in the democratic process, countering the big money influence that today controls much of today's political decision-making.
