On today’s Episode, Matt Hoh joins us to tell the crazy story of how his North Carolina Senate run as the presumptive Green Party candidate was suppressed by the National Democratic Party.

Matt is a former Marine Corps Captain and worked in the State Department as part of the provincial reconstruction team in Afghanistan. In 2009, Matt resigned in protest from his post over the American escalation of the war.

We chat about the Duopoly of the US government, how actions taken by the Democratic party to block his run could represent a dangerous precedent against any third parties running in the US, as well as a little bit of history.

On today’s episode, we talk a period in US history where there was a widespread effort to root out Soviet spies in the Government. We dive into Joe McCarthy’s history, how his particular brand of inquisition became synonymous with political “witch hunts”, and debate on the effectiveness and legitimacy of those efforts on US policy. Also, we talk a bit about how McCarthyism is potentially being applied today.
