The Election Before the Election
from Your Neighbor on the Left Podcast · host Your Neighbor on the Left
Most people think elections begin when the polls open. They don't. They begin months earlier, when politicians shape what voters will believe about the results before a single ballot is cast. In this episode, Don examines Donald Trump's latest election speech, separates legitimate security concerns from unsupported conclusions, and explores how public trust in elections, courts, the media, and other institutions can be eroded long before Election Day. It's not an argument against skepticism. It's an argument that skepticism should always be guided by evidence. Visit the podcast website at https://www.neighborontheleft.com
