Episode 11: Stealing Elections
from Eating Cake Hosted by Nicole Torres
R and N discuss the long election and how it lasted days...and is still being counted! We also discuss how both parties participate in stealing votes and elections. We discuss oligarchs, the US as a failed state, and the tired old trope of "back to normal," laugh at "brunch liberals," and touch upon the departure of Glenn Greenwald from the Intercept for actually DOING HIS JOB. R talks about Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon and it's important lesson at the end of the movie - a brilliant analogy, really. N reads a passage from Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States - from the 23rd chapter, "The Coming Revolt of the Guards," and the hope/warning that Zinn had for the future. N talks about the Biden win as "the calm before the storm" and how Democrats love to use rhetoric but to little to improve the conditions of suffering people. Special thanks to Sodium Bicarbonate for the opening and closing music, "Art Reel."
