/159/ Biden Time ft. Amber A'Lee Frost & Alex Gourevitch
from Bungacast · host Aufhebunga Bunga
On the US election, a huge turnout and the end of Trump. We survey the results of the presidential and legislative elections, peer through the exit polls and discuss some counterintuitive facts: Florida goes Trump but opts for a $15 minimum wage; California goes Biden while Uber gets its way; Trump did protectionism but it didn't help him win the Rustbelt; the Republicans win over more Latinos – but do Latinos even exist? And the big questions: Will Biden and the Democrats have any authority now that they don't have anti-Trumpism to drive them? Is a Biden administration to be a Silicon Valley dictatorship? And will the GOP be Trumpism without Trump? Readings: Are the Democrats losing on purpose? Amber Frost & Daniel Bessner, Jacobin
