The “most important election of our lifetimes” is happening tomorrow, if you live in America. John Pang, Carl Zha and I hosted a two hour space on the eve of the US election to talk about everything that’s not being said about it in the media.

In part 2, @ineedsheet joins to talk about the Asian diaspora experience with liberalism, and why many of us may prefer to ‘obscene’ culture of MAGA chuds over that of the liberal elites we have so long strived to join.

Jess and Teen talk about why kids growing up now seem so much younger than we were in our day at the same age. Is it a cognitive bias -- we were the same, actually -- or is there an actual change in the development path? And are parents smothering their kids these days or what?
