DB Comedy Presents THE ELECTABLES DB Comedy

DB Comedy returns to put as much of a bow as we can to our discussion of Third Parties - what with several lurking about as this episode was posted in 2024 and all - but we focus on Bull Mooses and Socialists and Dixiecrats and Greens, and even chat and snark about parties and privilege and movements and oh, all SORTS of fun things! Sit back, set a spell, and y'all give it a listen - ya hear?!!

Throughout the podcast, we have flirted with and chit-chatted about all kinds of third parties in the United States, and while at first we didn't think it was the case, we realized it actually would have been wrong not to talk about all those extra parties - and explore what it is about our system that keeps them as extras. So HERE WE GO, starting way back with that nasty 1824 election and getting through Masons and Whigs and Free Soilers and Know-Nothings and Populists - OH MYIt's a lot more fun than anyone should have talking about third parties in America would be! Join us, why don't'cha?!

We have reached the end of the American Century - was this a century about nothing? Was the last President of the 20th century a Presidency about nothing? Or was it chock-a-block of a life we left behind (good-bye, VHS!) and into a new way of life (hi, Internet!) and the start of so much of what we live with now? Get your flannel and teal out and let's find out with President 42, The Man From Hope, Bill Clinton!

Would it be prudent to download this episode? Is it a kinder, gentler take? Or is it all voodoo? Read Our Lips - it's DB Comedy snark the way you know it and love it ... especially since it's a chance to kick a certain potato-misspelling Hoosier up and down the electoral map too! It's George HW Bush - he was a President, he turned out to be the better Bush (erp!) and this is his episode!

The Ronald Reagan Presidency. Lots of feels about this one - and so our discussions and sketches have lots of barbs and lots of laughs to cope with the things that were done. Ronnie may not have remembered - but we did and we dish, and you'll be glad we did! This is how you deal with Reaganism - give it your ears!

It is said that the influence on the 1980s on subsequent decades - even now - is stronger than any other in cultural history. All we know is, because we're at Ronald Reagan and he was kind of big in the 80s, we talked a LOT about a bunch of those influences - and we thought it was interesting and fun, so we packaged them here in this bonus episode (and even include a bonus sketch at the end going out to our Chicago homies). Grab that Walkman, pull up those leg warmers and order up a Long Island Iced Tea for this one!
