You should have voted for Hillary in 2016! That doesn't change because Biden won in 2020. F your face.

High Quality, Smart, and Funny

The Skepticrat may be my favorite podcast. I've been listening for years and I am excited whenever a new episode is available. They work very hard to make podcasting look easy. They have a deep understanding of the political landscape and make it funny and entertaining. Fantastic show.
