Episode 122: Miami mystery candidates. Should you be anxious right now? Racism, Trump, Rich White Democrats and more with with Musa al-Gharbi!

A very South Florida story of candidates running for State Senate solely to distract from the Democrat. Mailbag! Including questions about who is a blue collar voter? Are we on the path to autocracy? Was this election REALLY "close?" Interview with Musa al-Gharbi about the trends of the Democrats becoming more white and affluent and the Republicans gaining minority working class voters. Also, why the media and academia can't accurately describe what's happening!
