- Should Biden Run Again In 2024? - The Left Wing 1.4
Independent Thought is joining with Counterpoint Politics & Cocktails and Capitalism to create a brand new show. Firstly, yes, Independent Thought is still going to continue, this is an additional show that I'll be a part of. It's a weekly show, geared towards discussing major news stories with other content creators on the Left. We have a brand new YouTube channel where you can find all of these episodes, but I also wanted to release a few of our older episodes on the podcast. To see our latest episodes, head to the YouTube link below.
***Also, for those of you on Spotify, there are videos attached to these episodes!*** So you should be able to watch the video as well.President Joe Biden on Tuesday formally announced that he is running for reelection in 2024, asking voters to give him more time to “finish this job” and extend the run of America’s oldest president for another four years.Biden, who would be 86 at the end of a second term, is betting his first-term legislative achievements and more than 50 years of experience in Washington will count for more than concerns over his age.Follow - The Left Wing:

21 min - Steven Crowder & No-Fault Divorce - The Left Wing 1.3
Independent Thought is joining with Counterpoint Politics & Cocktails and Capitalism to create a brand new show.

***Also, for those of you on Spotify, there are videos attached to these episodes!*** So you should be able to watch the video as well.THE right-wing podcaster, is getting a divorce. “No, this was not my choice,” Crowder told his online audience last week. “My then-wife decided that she didn’t want to be married anymore — and in the state of Texas, that is completely permitted.” Crowder’s emphasis on “the state of Texas” makes it sound like the Lone Star State is an outlier, but all 50 states and the District of Columbia have no-fault divorce laws on the books — laws that allow either party to walk away from an unhappy marriage without having to prove abuse, infidelity, or other misconduct in court. It was a hard-fought journey to get there. It took more than four decades to end fault-based divorce in America: California was the first state to eliminate it, in 1969; New York didn’t come around until 2010. (And there are caveats: Mississippi and South Dakota still only allow no-fault divorce if both parties agree to dissolve the marriage, for example.) Researchers who tracked the emergence of no-fault divorce laws state by state over that period found that reform led to dramatic drops in the rates of female suicide and domestic violence, as well as decreases in spousal homicide of women. The decreases, one researcher explained, were “not just because abused women (and men) could more easily divorce their abusers, but also because potential abusers knew that they were more likely to be left.”Follow - The Left Wing:

The Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers had been negotiating over pay, streaming residuals and other issues for a new contract to replace a three-year deal that expired May 1. A majority of the WGA’s membership voted in April to authorize a strike if an agreement wasn’t reached. On Monday evening, the boards of directors of the WGA’s East and West coast divisions voted to call a strike effective 12:01 a.m. Tuesday. The WGA says late-night talk shows would be among the first to be affected by a possible strike. Southern California’s production economy was upended during the last writers’ strike, which lasted 100 days and happened in 2007-08.

Jordan Neely was killed in the New York City subway after a Marine put him into a chokehold for several minutes. Prior to the attack, Neely was described to be yelling on the train about being hungry. His death has sparked a national debate around whether or not the Marine was justified in choking Neely to subdue him. We discuss the merit's of that argumentFollow - The Left Wing:
