This episode started out as a vulgar analysis of dumb corporate fuck-ups and quickly morphed into a Marxist analysis of climate politics in the early 2010s, and how the upcoming election is a revival of those politics on even cruder and more farcical terms. Hope you enjoy!

Tanya goes on Logo TV (sort of), Tarence goes to a wedding, and then the gang digs deep into the absolutely bizarre phenomenon of the recently-deceased Elizabeth Warren campaign. Recorded before she dropped out, so hopefully this didn't age too poorly.

Tarence has a full on psychotic break and even talks about it on tape. Adding an actual unironic content warning to this one for anyone who's ever experienced psychosis, disassociation, paranoia, solipsism, delusions of grandeur, and any other thing that has you playing piano in the sandbox. If you can wade through all that we end on a few comments about the end of the decade. Happy New Year folks.

In this episode we dig into state politics. What does a Governor do? What kind of change can leftists expect to enact at the state level? What are the easiest offices for leftists to infiltrate? These are some of the questions we attempt to answer.
