Yap Session: Electoral Politics
Added 2023-11-12 21:56:31 +0000 UTCEARLY ACCESS
The HITO BOYZ run through updates on the ongoing genocide in Gaza, recap the third GOP presidential primary debate, cover conservatives big electoral losses, and wrap up the show with a discussion on the moral implications behind withholding a vote from Joe Biden.
Comments
That's fair analysis with Canada and with how angry people are right now. Very few will be convinced at the moment.

2023-11-17 15:27:07 +0000 UTCRe: calls not to vote for Biden - I think the issue is that it’s hard to convince people disgusted by or dissuaded from voting by the system and the current state of things. I didn’t see this Lolo vid, but I find he’s deeply emotionally affected by his clients and the world, which is good. But that makes it very easy to become nihilistic and as a result people abstain from voting. You mention that in a parliamentary system it might be less of an issue to vote for a third party, which is technically true, but I live in Canada and rest assured, we basically have a two party system. Votes for the NDP are usually seen as splitting the left vote and dooming the Liberal Party, and that’s sometimes true. In general I think it’s just hard to sell people on harm reduction when the genocide in Gaza is ostensibly what reduced harm looks like. I agree that it’s still the right choice, but it might not seem like that to some.

2023-11-14 17:06:04 +0000 UTCSomething that’s really interesting about the whole Ohio GOP taking interpreting rights away from courts… the Wisconsin GOP has hit a wall with their momentum on doing the same with the recently elected Supreme Court justice. So crazy this is the world we live in. Hopefully they hit a wall and something changes with that reality. Representation means nothing when people approve a ballot measure I guess. This is a very grim outlook for other states in the same position.
