I explain why Americans NEED to believe Hillary ran a bad campaign because they can’t accept the appeal of Trump’s “minority-majority” fear-mongering

Special Podcast Reunion Episode: “The Center Must Hold”
In a special reunion episode of “A Year Long Conversation,” we dive deep into Doug Jones upset of Roy Moore, what this means for Alabama (and the South), Trump’s first year in office, Russian meddling, predictions for 2018 and 2020, and the paradox of Trump’s Russia-sponsored nationalism, at a time when fascism is having a moment what…
Episode 49–Mission Unaccomplished
If you enjoyed our amazing 50-state tour, why not recommend us to ANYONE that can help get this podcast syndicated? The next episode is our last one unless we get sponsors or syndication…
Twelve Painful Truths Democrats Must Accept to Rebuild the Party
I don’t want to sugarcoat it: the Democratic Party is in trouble. It is at its lowest level since the late 1920’s and possibly even worse than that when you consider Hawaii (one of only three states including Rhode Island and Delaware where Democrats control the state legislature trifecta and all congressional representation) wasn’t yet a state at that time….
And No, Hillary’s Campaign Wasn’t Bad
Aside from the myth that Bernie could’ve won, we also hear that Hillary’s campaign was bad. This is the second persistent myth that basically lets the American voter (and the media) off the hook. The thinking probably goes “hey, our country’s not really dumb enough to vote for Trump against a good candidate, it’s gotta be Hillary’s fault!” It…
No, Bernie Couldn’t Have Beat Trump Either
One of the widespread myths of the 2016—and there seem to be many—is that Bernie Sanders could’ve beat Trump where Hillary failed. This myth usually runs parallel to the myth that Hillary ran a bad campaign, a convenient theory that lets the voters (and the media) off the hook without acknowledging history, demographics, just how…
Episode 43–The Gender Episode
We dive deep into all things men, women, and everyone in-between in a stand-out episode. Big questions are explored like: Are men and women really different in 2016? Is Trump the epitome of what women like Hillary have always had to fight against? Have women already surpassed men and how will that affect dating, marriage,…
Episode 41–What is Corruption? And Free Don Siegelman
We spend the first half of the episode making sense of Big Don’s implosion, tallying the numerous scandals and recapping his second debate performance. Then we ask “What is Corruption?” in 2016, and notice that a lot of American corruption seems to be how corruption is prosecuted and investigated in the first place–i.e. along party…
Episode 40–How Do Democrats Lose? The Southern And Northern Strategy
Can the Democrats take back the white working class? And how did they lose them in the first place? Tricky questions that we attempt to answer by looking deep into the history of the Democratic Party–which contained MLK and George Wallace at the same time–and how the Southern Strategy cost them the white working class decades…
Live-Blogging the VP Debate
This should be a real event. A boring guy with white-ish hair vs. a boring guy with very white hair… 6:00 p.m…even the pre-debate montage of these guys makes them look boring. I can almost hear the editor of this clip package “Hey guys, you can’t make a turnip sexy.” 6:05…A debate moderator I’ve never…
End of the World…Party [A Montage of Trumpocalypse]
A quick montage I put together to prepare you. Hey, the apocalypse may not be so bad, I hear cockroaches taste better than you’d think…
Episode 35–What Will Obama Do Post-POTUS? And Predicting His Legacy
In our first truly “Obama Episode” we pull out our crystal ball to wonder what Obama will do after his presidency, and trying to predict how he’ll be remembered as President. Such burning questions include: Will Republicans miss torturing him? Exactly what bugs Republicans about Obamacare (their own plan)? Do Americans know we have the…
Episode 34–Do We Need a Revolution? And the Third Party Myth
In the final part of our “Sacred Cows” trilogy, we ask “Do We Need a Revolution?” and explore Bernie’s, Trump’s, Obama’s, and even Hillary’s revolutions, and wonder if things ever really change or our battles are echoes of the past. Why do some Trump fans seem okay with nuclear apocalypse? Are third parties only appealing…
