Thanks Juniper

I think 2020 was historic voter turnout for democrats and in general, I dont think we can expect to hit that total vote count every election from now on just because we did in 2020. however we do clearly need a lot more than we got this year to beat a candidate as popular as trump

The last time the full-force primary played out was 2008. That led to Obama being elected. Since then the Democrats got this atrocious idea that annointing candidates is more effective. It was nice to hear from Western Kabuki on this, love you guys.

What you didn’t respond to their message of “actually guys genocide is pretty dope and so are the Cheneys.”? Lol

Thanks for this, Juniper. I’ve been hoping to hear from you guys, and I think this was just the message I needed.

It's weird how a combination of not actually offering people something to vote for and also kicking the left, but still expecting them to vote for you, didn't result in winning 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Kamala didn’t lose 14 million votes, not all the votes are counted. Trump got more votes than last time, not all the votes are counted. There are around 10 million votes left in CA. About 6 1/2 million will go to Kamala, 3 1/2 will go to Trump. And there are another couple million in a few other states. Just FYI.

Thanks guys for putting this out. It’s comforting to get some perspective on things

Yo! Something got corrupted when uploading so it cut off around 20 mins, try again! The episode should be about 35 mins long. Sorry about that!
