Don’t love the Green Party voting but you’ve never voted In a swing state(Massachusetts,Hawaii,and California aren’t going to be and Texas won’t be for a long time) so it’s fine(bonus points for looking at stein in 2012 unlike most of her voters who were ex Bernie bros in 2016,or Palestine activists in 2024). Also you in an earlier episode mentioned 1st term trump moving the Republican Party left on some issues,and I’m wondering since you’ve been in Europe so much what you’re thoughts are on my theory that the MAGA base is a kinda European Christian democratic party(CDU in germany,KDU in Czechia,la republicans in France,both Fine Gael and finna fall in Ireland that type of party) style base as Christian democracy party is famously supposed to be left economically and right socially? Also if you ever do historical deep dive episodes again I suggest checking out voteview.com which is exactly what it sounds like,a historical list of votes from both chambers of congress from UCLA though it’s been a bit unreliable as of late for current votes. Look up the sanders amendment to the 2005 budget(108th congress,house vote 1013)
