#047—The Lesser of Two Evils

In this short episode, Jack editorializes on the question of voting or not voting for the candidate that’s less bad. Inspired by recent news stories about strong anti-Trump voices now saying they will vote for Trump because they think a second Biden term would be disastrous, combined with polls showing that a lack of enthusiasm among young and minority voters for President Biden is potentially going to result in many traditionally Democratic voters not voting for anyone, Jack reflects on this asymmetry in American politics: that Republicans are much more likely to vote for the lesser of two evils and Democrat more likely not to vote for anyone if they’re disappointed in their candidate.
