Bryan and Amanda are back to talk about all the crazy shit happening in the news, starting with a New York Times Op-Ed about “democracy grief” and the demoralizing fear and depression caused by the Trump presidency. Next, they talk about new polling data that shows voters are getting younger and more diverse. For the main news, they discuss the upcoming Senate impeachment trial, and the announcements from Republican Senators that they have no intention to remain impartial. Plus, they tell us about a freshman congressman who would rather switch parties than vote in favor of Trump’s impeachment. In today’s Election Section they talk about some serious debate drama shaping up in the Democratic primary. For One More Thing, they talk about the British elections that took place last week, and explain why this was one of the most important elections in the country’s modern history.
