What happens when the DNC is an ouroboros of grifting fail-children? What happens when you try to improve voting with an app, and the app can’t stop crashing? In this week’s episode, Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Nate (@inthesedeserts), and Alice @AliceAvizandum join journalist Vincent Bevins (@Vinncent) to discuss the Iowa Democratic Caucus disaster, or how to not make people trust an election result. Vincent has covered elections in 15 countries and has some thoughts on why American exceptionalism makes America terrible at the basic concept of representative democracy.
Vincent has a book coming out called “The Jakarta Method” that covers the persecution and mass killing of leftists during the Cold War. You can pre-order it here, and you definitely should: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/vincent-bevins/the-jakarta-method/9781541742406/?lens=publicaffairs

*FUNDRAISING ALERT* In this episode, Riley mentions a fundraiser for a migrant assistance organisation in the US called Al Otro Lado. That fundraiser is complete, but if you have money to spare they can use the surplus for other cases of children escaping literal slavery.
