In most elections, there are usually more than two candidates running, but people generally only know about two - the Republican and the Democrat. Why is this?

 

In this Special Edition episode, before the first debate of the 2016 United States Presidential General Election, we examine the tactics people use in order to dissuade another person from using their Constitutional right to vote for the candidate of their choice, and to keep their vote within the Two-Party System. We also examine the defense against these tactics, also known as using facts.

(Sorry for the late upload today, I experienced some connectivity issues with my internet service provider earlier in the day, which put me farther behind than I anticipated, even with the Special Edition this morning.)

(EDITED: In today's episode, I talked about a story that turned out to be fake.

I did not perform due diligence and check into the accuracy of those "facts". I failed my listeners, and myself. I perpetuated sensationalism masquerading as journalism, and reduced myself to the level of the pseudojournalists that I hold so much disdain for.

In an effort to redeem myself, I have edited today's episode, explaining what I did wrong, and how I will avoid this sort of thing in the future.

I apologize to my listeners and urge all of you to learn from my mistake - don't believe everything you read, especially on the internet, and double check something before you share it.)
