We have a fighter!

After summer travels, a joke of an RNC, an assassination attempt and the weird yet predictable cult behavior that followed, we’re back and just in time for the news that has eclipsed all the rest: the end of Joe Bidens’s reelection bid and the meteoric rise of the Kamala campaign.

We talk about the new enthusiasm among Democratic voters and the huge push Vice President Harris is getting from young voters on social media, and of course, the natural next question ahead of the sprint to November: who should be her pick for VP? We go over the usual suspects, but then of course Aleem has to come out of left field with something altogether different.

John debuts a new fantasy sports league. It’s not basketball or football though; it’s our Harris cabinet dream team. See! Nerds can do fantasy sports too!

Last but certainly not least, we each have our list of the top five lies about America that the right wing has invented and popularized. Did we miss any whoppers?

Trying out a new format with this episode with John hosting for the first time. May make it a recurring thing. What do you think? Let us know in the comments!
