Episode 3 - Krystal Ball

Well, yeah, Bomani was on my first one, so I decided to have him back again. Now, you do politics, but what I really like about you is even though you're on the left, like me, you come at things from a different perspective. So if somebody was to say to you, Crystal, explain your sort of political ideology in a short phrase, how would you explain it?

Yeah, you definitely are critical towards both parties. But I love that you said populist left because I don't think there's a lot of people like you and I for real in politics. And what I mean by that is for you and I, the working class, I think has always been the centerpiece of what we believe in. And people will say that, but then they don't necessarily actually do the things that lead to it.

I mean, when I try to think of people in the Democratic Party now, if you're just talking on economics, Maybe John Fetterman โ€“ Bernie has parts of it, but then parts of it can go the other way, in my opinion. Do you agree with me that there are not a lot of people โ€“ first of all, there are not a lot of politicians that are Democrats in office from the places we're talking about, rural America.

But why do you think he's so popular, though? I mean, this is the question I get asked.

And yet they opine and they go, a lot of these people like Trump, they're voting against their interests. And I try to articulate why I think they do.
