Election Day: America Limps Across the Finish Line

from Middleweight Politics: Political Analysis for the Independent Voter · host Dan Sally & Shawn Griffiths

After months of pollsters telling us the election was close, 50.4% of Americans decided giving a second term to a 78-year-old former president was the best way to bring about much-needed change. In this episode, Dan and Shawn discuss how "double haters" ultimately tipped the election in favor of Trump, how Democrats boosted MAGA candidates in the primaries only to lose to them, and why every ballot initiative that could have given voters more than two choices on the ballot failed spectacularly. They also talk about Long John Silver's and Little Caesar's. It'll make sense when you listen.
