Candidate for Wisconsin Democratic Party chair, Joe Zepecki, on Trump, Big Beautiful Bill, what Democrats need to do

Joe Zepecki, candidate for Democratic Party of Wisconsin chair, was in La Crosse last Saturday and stopped into the WIZM studio to discuss the state of the party, the not-so beautiful bill passing the US House and state of politics in Wisconsin.
La Crosse Talk airs weekdays at 6-8 a.m. Listen on the WIZM app, online here, or on 92.3 FM / 1410 AM / 106.7 FM (north of Onalaska). Find all the podcasts here or subscribe to La Crosse Talk wherever you get your podcasts.
Zepecki is one of three candidates running for state chair, along with William Garcia — the La Crosse County and 3rd Congressional District Democratic Party chair — and Devin Remiker, who is a UW-L graduate.
The Wisconsin Democratic Party convention is July 16-17, where delegates will vote on those three candidates.
On the show, along with Republicans passing what Zepecki called a wealth transfer to the rich through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, we also discussed Republicans holding their state convention and one of their platforms being upholding Wisconsin’s 176-year-old near total abortion ban. We also talked about the Democrats’ bench when it comes for things like running for governor, if Tony Evers doesn’t seek reelection.

Democrats like Zepecki continue to lie to us. They tell us to not believe our own eyes. Even before the 2020 election they lied to us about Biden’s cognitive decline. Who was actually making presidential decisions during those years. They told us to get the “Jab” and we wouldn’t get Covid or spread it to others, a lie. They said they were the party of women’s rights, but support biological men competing in sports against real women. Lying again. They said the border was secure, a lie. They claimed Trump would take us into world war 3, but under Biden wars broke out in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. Democrat party has only two tired old strategies, to lie to us and to try to divide us with those lies.(divide and conquer) This past November the majority of voters in these United States said “enough!” They united for a better way, but the democrats continue to lie.

I listened to the garbage for about ten minutes the other day when you interviewed him.
I was surprised I lasted that long.
Ten minutes off fluff as usual.
Waste of time actually.
Do you know how to conduct an interview? The answer is obvious – NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why is no time given for opposing views? Was nobody else running?
