Wednesday, October 2, 2024 - A 'civil' debate that "Jan. 6" derailed; also, who's Mencious Moldbug?

Tuesday night's vice presidential debate, moderated by CBS, doesn't seem to have moved the needle much with voters. "Do no harm" seems to be the clear winner - which, on the surface should benefit J.D. Vance more. I happen to think the soundbites leave more "meat on the bone" for Harris/Walz to make use of for "leftovers," though. Joining me to discuss is local Democratic consultant Andrew Heaton. Also, if you don't know who "⁠Mencious Moldbug⁠ " is yet, get to know his creepy influence on J.D. Vance, the MAGA-churian candidate who clings to his every thought and word. There's a lot about him in print, but political media has largely let Vance's affinity for this far-right lunatic's philosophy. That is, until Rachel Maddow ⁠seamed it all together for the masses⁠. I'll credit Michael Millerman - political philosopher and scholar - for ⁠being on this story months ago,⁠ as well.
