Ok, last point. The Russian data hacks of state voter data (not voting machines) and interference combined with Trump's obsession with the popular vote combined with Jill Stein's justified recount in the 2016 "swing states" combined with the insane primary processes by both the Rs and Ds argue for a harsh look at how elections are run and secured in the US. We do a horrible job, and it can lead to hundreds of thousands of former independents unable to vote for Sanders in New York to JEB! and Kathryn Harris purging black people from the Florida voter rolls in 2000. The type of disenfranchisement that Republicans have been pursuing for the last 20 years have also made our system extremely vulnerable in addition to simply disenfranchising people. The Democrats largely go along with it. The DSA wing or Sanders wing or the left need to understand and embrace the threat a foreign power like Russia poses to our elections because it's the same threat that the major parties pose to it as well.

I am old an un-hip, and so do not get the pop culture reference at 44:40. Can someone enlighten me?

"huh... whaaaa... nobody has a job... what are they talking about"

Trump definitely isn't going to get owned but his administration people going to jail would be kinda devastating.

I'm a vegan ancom and the thing that concerns my friends the most about me is that I rarely go outside

If you're a working class union member you might need to get an abortion at some point, but you're also more likely to be opposed to abortion than not

Sorry for the delay, we were busy preparing our Halloween costume as the NAtional Debt. We talk about today's dud Russia news and a genuinely good piece in the Atlantic about Third Way weirdos. We also ask, what if Obama was the Joker...

By the way please buy Felix's sister's book: http://www.vineleavespress.com/the-walmart-book-of-the-dead-by-lucy-biederman.html
