Thank you so much to the hosts for intelligent questions and for the outstanding History Professor Heather Cox Richardson for being a guest here to create this nuanced conversation. A much needed, honest and yes, smart, discussion that I'm so grateful to be watching tonight. I'm a big fan of Heather's, her Substack daily newsletter tells me almost everything I need to know each morning. Thank you to everyone involved behind the scenes for bringing this to all of us. Vote well, US. Vote Blue all the way down the ballot, please, it's so important. 💙

I just watched, it's Wednesday, Oct. 30, 2024. I follow HCR because she is a truth teller. Thanks for posting this video today. Hope a lot of people see it. I hope our democracy will prevail, it's way better than autocratic forms of government.

Truth tellers can stand up to scrutiny. Richardson immediately blocks any criticism

John Ganz, in 'When the Clock Broke' talks about the lack of shared experience slightly differently. We don't interact with bank tellers, service station attendents (what are they??), etc. because those jobs have been automated. I chat with the checker at my local grocery store. Mr. Ganz made me realize all the ways I USED to interact with people in my community, that I no longer can, because their jobs are gone.

2:45 this whole nation of everybody voting on the same day is unwieldy and a way to disenfranchise voters in many red states. In Georgia, they shortened the hours of operation in heavily black areas, made fewer voting precinct locations, and had fewer voting machines. The first day of voting in Henrico, Virginia (just outside of Richmond surrounding Richmond and a different voting day than the rest of Virginia) was September 20. I went that day and voted. I was excited they were people there. We went to the municipal building and it was marvelous. 4:05 spoken like a cyst with straight white man who’s never been disenfranchised and who would never suffer, no matter who won.

These co-hosts clearly feel self-important. Just ask good, short questions and let HCR answer.

Re how people are experiencing the economy, it would be helpful for the media to help Americans understand the shift to neoliberalism from Reagan up to Biden. Neoliberalism is effectively an extractive model which has eviscerated the middle and working classes to further enrich the wealthy. Because of concentration and monopoly allowed through and encouraged by over extensive deregulation (both parties), we now live in a gilded age of robber barons (billionaires). Biden is the first turn away from that extractive model (it will take a lot of time to fix the damage done over the last 40 years). Harris policies are the next step in that long process. That, in some way, needs to be communicated. And journalists should be reading and researching history - and consulting historians as the depth of historical knowledge needed by many journalists is wanting.

"the community experience of all of us going to the polls on election day"... biggest load of shit I've heard in a long time... In WA state, we went 100% mail in years ago. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better. I get my ballot, and a voter's pamphlet weeks before the election. From the comfort of my dining room kitchen, I can sit down and leisurely fill out my ballot, then drop it in the mail. 100% the way every American should be able to vote.

You're preaching to the choir with this. It's great information but my question is always about how you get the info to those who need to hear it the most. Maybe it's true that they are lost.

Here after the election... Why do you say not to look at polls? Have they not been historically extremely accurate at predicting the outcome? The polls had the election as a tossup & it was spot on. On another note, I am very very scared & I'm scared for my children.
