America Passes Its Midterms*

Mike and Erol are back talking all things democracy. Mike ponders the angles of democratic (and Democratic) slippery slopes while Erol wonders why it seems to be either jail or the presidency for leaders in Brazil and Israel. And both break down a good night* for Democrats (and democracy).

*NOTE: Whenever Democrats are celebrating, an asterisk is required.

Mike’s drinking: ANXO Transcontinental Dry Cider
