Pantsuit Politics

After briefly reviewing the weeks' major economic policy speeches from Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, we dive into a discussion of whether and to what extent ethics in politics still matter. Should politicians be judged by voters on the ways they use power, or should we, as Sarah likes to say, stop hating the players and hate the game? We talk about ethical judgments of Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, and third parties. In The Heels, we talk about our newfound interests in bullet journaling.  Hosted on Acast.

We tackle feedback that Beth is leaving the GOP unrepresented in our discussions and we're both no experts on Olympic coverage if we're not watching the Olympics.

White males without a college degree are Donald Trump's strongest demographic. With ugly media portrayals of unfiltered racism and misogyny at Trump rallies, we ask if there is any nuance to be found amongst this white male resentment. We also discuss the Olympics in The Pearls and Beth's vacation and back-to-school in The Heels.  Hosted on Acast.

We're all growing weary of the Presidential campaign. Inspired by our listener, Andrew, we spend most of today's episode on hopeful stories. From moderate victories in Kansas to bipartisan legislation in Congress and in Massachusetts, there are reasons for optimism. We also discuss a question from Amanda on how effective it would be to volunteer with the Clinton campaign and share more about Dante Lima, the talent behind our new music.  Hosted on Acast.
