Rise and shine fever dreamers. Look alive, my friends. I'm B. Spear. And I'm Sammy Sage. And this is American Fever Dream presented by Betches News, where we explore the absurdities and oddities of our uniquely American experience. And we have the perfect guest for that today. We do. Mary Ann Williamson. What's going on, girl? Hello.

I just wrote in the Democratic Party. Yeah, I certainly tried. Certainly tried. Well, that's what I want to ask. I'm like, you've been running for office for a long time. You come out here with all these ideas. And then like, what makes you want to run for office when the Democratic Party put such a like stiff arm at you at every fucking like corner it's so funny both my
