Episode Details

When a progressive activist running for state House gets snubbed by her own party for befriending a Republican, it sparks a fiery debate about bipartisanship in politics. Nicolette Ocheltree, a vocal advocate for housing justice, argues that crossing party lines is essential to win in conservative districts — but her Democratic Party’s rejection sends a chilling message. Meanwhile, Spokane Councilman Michael Cathcart faces backlash for accepting Democratic endorsements, with GOP leaders calling it treasonous — yet Cathcart insists that serving all voters, not just party loyalists, is the only way to truly represent the community. These clashes reveal a deepening political divide — and a growing question: is collaboration a strength or a betrayal?
