In this week’s episode we take a look at the “Radical Left”, a moniker used by conservatives to describe anyone they disagree with. Just how accurate is the term “radical” when applied to someone like Joe Biden? Amanda opens this episode with a fascinating timeline of how 60 years of rightwing propaganda has shaped the verbiage used by conservatives when describing their left-leaning opponents. Whether liberals are doing the devil's work or trying to bring the fall of democracy, conservatives have consistently had a slogan or slant to appeal to their base. Jason follows up with a breakdown of the global spectrum of political leanings to show where American parties fall in relation to others around the world. Are Democrats actually far left when compared to other left-leaning parties around the world? And where exactly do Republicans fall on the global scale? You might be surprised. So put on your thinkin’ cap, grab a cold drink and sit on the porch with us cause today we're lookin' left.
