Presidential Deathmatch

It's over! After 196 (or 197, who's counting) Presidential losers the genie curse has been lifted and Aaron and Dennis can talk about whatever they want again. Which is presidential losers, as it turns out.

Before leaving them behind forever Aaron and Dennis consider a list of Also-ran historical rankings and make their own, before re-answering the natural question of who they would have wanted for president anyway.

It's been a long time coming, but at long last Aaron and Dennis have reached the end of the rainbow: the final presidential losers they need to talk about.

What magic wisdom do these final socialist candidates have in store? Only one to find out!

The boys manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory! Editing is taking a little long this week so Aaron talks about Hyrum and Verlan Lewis' book The Myth of Left and Right which asserts that Left and Right are not only unhelpful labels for political ideas, but are instead post hoc creations to justify a disparate set of beliefs! It's a hoot.

In what must be a first for Presidential Death-Match Dennis and Aaron fall into two substantive discussions over the course of the episode. Luckily there's plenty of silliness inbetween as they look at the remains of third parties since the year 2000.

Aaron and Dennis are back from their respective travails to finish their discussion on failed independent candidates (and successful racists) of the late 1900s!

Jessica Kelly Garrett guest hosts an episode all about those lovable huggable segregationists: the Dixiecrats!

We know that no third party or independent has ever successfully become president- but not for lack of trying! Aaron and Dennis begin to take a look at the 1950s and beyond during a time of fringe candidates fighting for the restoration of segregation (and other melancholy times)!

Aaron and Dennis are separated by time, space, and fate. Still, they persevere and tell you the life and times of George Wallace and John B. Anderson.

Dennis does an absolutely hysterical bit, and Aaron does dry history stuff. The world is as it should be.

George Wallace is the last moderately electorally successful third party candidate and John B Anderson pleaded for a centrist lane against the progressive poles of Carter and Reagan.

Due to a big rock getting rolled away Dennis and Aaron are momentarily reflecting on the last season's episodes and checking in to see how much Dennis retained.

Did Ulysses Grant's horse get any electoral vote? Who wanted a third term? And who was Orval Fauvus? All these questions and little else are answered on this edition of Presidential Death Match!

After a rousing bout with Vicky Blood last week Aaron and Dennis return to the business of dressing down some people who history chose to forgot. Did you know the inventor of Jell-O ran for president, and that he is the oldest person to do so? Or that the corrupting influence of politics turned a labor reformer into a white supremicist? It's all inside this episode of Presidential Death Match!
