Presidential Politics: Biden!? Oliver!? Kennedy!? Trump?!

Episode 30: Presidential Politics: Biden!? Oliver!? Kennedy!? Trump?! This week, Brian, Chris, and Andy open addressing the importance of non-violence following the failed assassination attempt of former President Trump. Then, with an eye to the 2024 presidential election, they discussed the current political climate, expressing their general dissatisfaction with the two-party system as they consider the candidates, and explore their options and leanings. All three share similar concerns and ideals, but do they agree on a best choice for 2024? As they share their ideas and ask questions of one another, they also expressed their concerns about the future of American democracy, particularly under a Trump administration, and the erosion of liberal ideals. The group emphasized the importance of civil discourse, rejecting violence as a solution, and the necessity of genuine consideration of differing viewpoints.   Relevant links from this episode include: Ballotpedia candidate bios: “The following noteworthy candidates have filed to run for president with the Federal Election Commission (FEC). Click here to view a full list of all candidates who have filed with the FEC.” Joe Biden (D) Donald Trump (R) Chase Oliver (L) Robert F.
