Why Does The 2024 Election Feel So Fake? - Krystal Ball - #856
Krystal Ball is the co host of Breaking Points, a political commentator and a podcaster.
Politics has changed a lot over the last 4 years, and even more compared to a decade ago. And yet everything feels unreal, kind of like a pantomime. So, do elections even matter any more?
Expect to learn if breaking stories have any real impact, whether Elon Musk is even influential in this election cycle, if Kamala is a change candidate or have incumbent legitimacy, the role of podcasts in deciding the future of America, if the polls are underestimating Trump, how the left has a complicated relationship with God and much more…
