17: Vice President Debate & Voting

In our second (and maybe last?) week of debate coverage we take a look at the VP debate between Mike Pence and Kamala Harris. We analyse their performance in terms of both the game of politics and the substance we hope to see in debates. We then spend the second half of the episode answering a question we were asked by a listener that is on a lot of people's minds. Given the situation we are in as voters, what can we do this election to make a difference. To answer that question, we discuss concepts like: the lesser of two evils, throwing away your vote, the purpose of political parties, how parties determine their direction in the future, the role of third party voting, and more.
