What.A.Week! Somehow we saw both death of the American job market AND the resurrection of the stock market. Which means it must be Easter…and the end of capitalism! So celebrate both exciting events with us as we explore all the week’s news. We’ll debate the merits of Joe BIden’s veep options, tell you all the ways America is #1 (hint: it’s our number of Coronavirus cases) and as is our Easter tradition, Brent attempts to explain the story of Easter to Lila.
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?
BTL #341 - Super Tuesday (w/ Guest Carla Nordstrom) - 3/9/20
This week on the podcast, we’ve been hearing so much about the 1968 Democrats that we brought our own boomer onto the show to relive that time and discuss how it compares to now. Plus, updates on our Senate 2020 project, thoughts on how to move on from the crushing blow of Super Tuesday, and one area in which we definitely did win: Chris Matthews is gone!
BTL #339 - The Nevada Caucus Special - 2/24/20
BTL #338 - We Must NEVER Vote for Michael Bloomberg - 2/17/19
This week on the podcast, two major points: Liz Warren should stay in the race for president come hell or high water, and we must NEVER, EVER, NEVEREVER vote for Michael Bloomberg. Don’t speak it, don’t think it, don’t justify it. That and, of course, updates on New Hampshire, the race as it stands, Tuesday’s DOJ massacre, and so much more.
Bernie Sanders is the Definition of "Electable"
Around this time in every election cycle, voters get obsessively wrapped up in identifying the presidential candidate that most exudes “electability.” Unfortunately, nobody has a clue as to what that entails. That’s why we’ve decided to make the electability case in a simple way, using the cold, hard, undeniable, poll and stat-based facts.
