Just Say No (to Mayor Pete and Joe Biden)

Rumor has it that leftist politics podcasts only exist to rip on Democrats. Well, that’s only half-true: we rip on right-wing politicians all day long, but we know that they’re fascists and plutocrats. Democrats, on the other hand, are supposed to be on our side -- hence our desire to actually elect people who represent our desires. And in that vein, we’re discussing Pete Buttigieg and Joe Biden. Guess what? They’re bad.

We’re greatly indebted to friend of the show Nathan J. Robinson, whose article for Current Affairs forms the basis of our criticism of Mayor Pete: https://www.currentaffairs.org/2019/03/all-about-pete

This week’s bonus features a discussion between friend of the show Brock Wilbur and Francis, on the topic of Sierra's "Police Quest" series, a game in which you'll always die if you don't do it by the book. They discuss its inherent reactionary sentiment, the way it changed to suit gaming modes of the day, and the looming shadow of Daryl F. Gates—the father of the militarized LAPD and a consultant for the Police Quest games. Get it on the Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/25741937
