In this episode, we talk about the Democratic Party and why they are failing to connect with their voter base. They discuss how the Democrats have become out of touch with the issues that matter to most Americans, and how they rely on fear-mongering and identity politics to win elections. They also critique the recent rise of Vivek Ramaswamy, a billionaire entrepreneur who is running as a GOP candidate for the 2024 election. They argue that Ramaswamy is nothing but a brown Trump who panders to the right-wing base with his anti-woke rhetoric and his pro-corporate agenda. The only people realistically voting for him are "debate-bros" and other brown republicans. Finally, they explore how the internet has made people more susceptible to misinformation and conspiracy theories, and how this affects the quality of public discourse and democracy. This is a fascinating and provocative conversation that you don’t want to miss.
