The Modernist Perspective Podcast

Joe Biden is the new President Elect of the United States of America. Yet even after his clear and concise victory the country is still divided with many doubting the validity of the democratic process itself. Join us as we discuss what happened during the election and pick up where we left off from our last episode. This is an exciting one you won't want to miss.

0:33 - The Good News: Trump is fired and Joe Biden is our new president. How a large majority came together to show they were tired of Trump and his cultish supporters.

3:41 - The Bad News: Voters cast cynical aspersions on the election process itself with still many not believing their vote mattered or thinking that even if they did vote it would make no difference.
