Meet the (Third Party) Candidates: Jill Stein

Green party candidate for president Jill Stein.  Democrats believe she’s the Yoko Ono of the presidential race.  Donald Trump believes she’s...yet another faceless disgusting woman who probably has periods.  Both major parties would like you to think she’s some sort of dreadlock-y hippie that isn’t worth your time.  If corporate shills and/or flat out insane people aren’t your cup of tea, join us as we meet our first of the two major third party candidates and dive a little deeper into this thing called democracy!

BTL #342 - Pandemic - 3/16/20

Well, we’re in a pandemic, guys. This week’s podcast was recorded from two different homes because…social distancing…but we didn't want to miss the chance to talk about Sunday’s bizarro audience-less debate, Trump’s lack of basic scientific understanding and denial, and all the increasing pandemonium of having no competent leadership during a dramatic pandemic. Also, sorry about your 401K. (And ours.) Maybe having basic social protections (but isn’t that socialism!?) isn’t such a bad thing after all?
