In this final episode before the election, a warning from Josh: Election Night coverage is largely designed to manipulate you. To take you on an emotional rollercoaster. He explains what you’d be better off doing during the first few hours, and why the early results sometimes suggest the opposite of what’s really happening.
But first, a fiasco as the billionaire owners of the L.A. Times and Washington Post block their editorial boards’ endorsements of Kamala Harris. Josh answers listeners’ questions and explains why this “matters big time, including for the fight against the forces of fascism on the right and on the far left.” He also shares what he’s hearing from the inside. And he discovers that at least one of these owners is apparently unaware of what his actual role is.
Plus, a bonus section! You’ll hear why. It’s something positive and hopeful that has nothing to do with the election: Meet Fatema Alharbi of Sharaka, a Bahraini athlete standing up to haters and building relationships with Israelis.
