Episode 60: Let's Party
Mike Neumann and Dr. Tim Jurgensen discuss the role and effectiveness of political parties in a constitutional republic. They analyze the recent Senate vote on a confirmation, noting the Vice President's tie-breaking role and the split within the Republican Party. They debate the purpose of political parties, suggesting they should organize political action based on shared principles but are mainly used for fundraising and gaslighting their constituents. They critique the lack of accountability within parties, citing examples like the Biden administration's deception of the former president's faculties. They also discuss the potential impact of Supreme Court rulings on the administrative state and the role of political parties in elections, emphasizing the need for active citizen engagement.
