Not Safe For Wonks

Kamala's EXTREMELY SPECIFIC college debt program. Why do Democrats insist on doing this stuff? Democrats doing pronoun introductions, campaign expenditures, why Cardi B is better than Mozart and it's not even close, debate night previews... and the weirdo that's stalking Pete Buttigieg.Tons of fun, so check it out. If you're reviewing us on Stitcher or especially iTunes, you're incredible. It's way more than we could have hoped for. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/not-safe-for-wonks/id1472605366Politico on campaign expenditures: https://www.politico.com/story/2019/07/23/2020-odd-spending-campaigns-1426708

Libra, how money hijacked the "blockchain" movement, and how they're going FOMO millions to death and make life generally miserable.Also, VIDEO GAMES! Remember when those used to be fun? Now they're just barely fun enough to keep you spending. Voting with your wallet, Gamergate, and a bunch more.

We spend a few minutes #DunkingonDelaney before getting into a very Marianne heavy episode. We talk about the development of her stump speech in Iowa, and then get into a discussion of self-help in general.Is it just a balm over the rough spots of capitalism? And if so, what are the alternatives?

How does somebody like Jeffery Epstein get into power? We look at his history and the moves he made to ingratiate himself with the elite. Is this a conspiracy or something more mundane?Society's fucked.We also get a call from our first guest - surprisingly high quality as far as clout goes.This should be the last "terrible audio" episode.

The conservative clapback machine, "cultural purity tests", the realistic hopes of reform and Disney live action remakes.

Is criticism of Nancy Pelosi like domestic abuse? Maybe a little bit?We climb up from a pile of strongly worded letters and try to figure out the direction the Dems are going in. Why can't we all just get together to fight Trump? Is the Justice Dem strategy fundamentally at odds with the Mainstream Dem power structure?The real world stakes. We try to reach for love - and do really poorly. How can you pay attention to this without turning into a white hot ball of rage?Also, the Pelosi Defender has logged on: we also read an INCREDIBLE article from Maureen Dowd about her ideal vision of the Pelosi/AOC relationship. We dive into why it sucks.QUICK NOTE: While Pelosi wasn't in the gym with Obama, she did support him during the superdelegate stuff vs Hillary. Back then, it wasn't nothing. Also nobody defected to Trump during his Obamacare repeal campaign - and her work there was An Extremely Good Thing. We're super reasonable.cited:https://goblindly.blog/2019/07/09/the-rage-against-nancy-pelosi-is-akin-to-domestic-abuse/https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/13/opinion/sunday/scaling-wokeback-mountain.htmlhttps://digitalhealthtoday.com/support/how-to-review-itunes/ - juuuust saying

We also raid the closets of the 2020 Democratic nominees to discuss issue that really matters - merchandise quality.

We should introduce ourselves, and why not now? The ethics of promotion, our struggle with our incoming fame and fortune, and humbly taking the lead in the revolution.We also do a deep dive on Marianne Williamson's 4th of July speech - definitely pitched at an older audience, but what does history tell us about these kinds of speeches?We also talk about the weird history of the Founding Fathers, sharing a few stories about their religion and lack thereof.The dangers of not being able to "get" symbolism. And the best motivation for gamers to finally rise up. If you thought Kennedy didn't talk enough in the pilot, he DEFINITELY makes up for it this week. And Leia has the sniffles. Sorry.
