What does government by the people mean when voters approve an initiative and the fight immediately moves to court? On this episode of Plausibly Live: The Dave Bowman Show, Dave examines Washington’s battles over natural gas policy, taxes, girls’ sports, and the possibility of public power in Kitsap County. He explains why election coverage finally drove him to turn off the morning news, while arguing that frustration with the system makes voting more necessary.
The scrutiny extends to President Trump’s remarks about higher fuel prices and who actually benefits when Americans pay more at the pump. Drawing on a German journalist’s reflections after World War II, Dave considers the responsibility citizens carry when their own preferred leaders say things that deserve a challenge. From Olympia to Washington, D.C., this episode asks how much authority we surrender when party loyalty takes the place of independent judgment.
