Episode notes

The Bill Clinton case had two copies of evidence, one for Democrats and one for Republicans.
No Democrats signed in to see the evidence against Bill Clinton or voted to impeach him.
Polarization exists between Republicans and Democrats, with both sides sticking to their guns.
Politicians don't have to work to earn votes if they can lock voters into not considering the other party.
Eliminating polarization may not be in politicians' best interest, as it reduces the need to persuade voters.
Be skeptical when someone claims to want to eliminate polarization.

Hour 2 When a politician tells you they want to end polarization, run! Audio from WGIG-AM and FM in Brunswick, GA
