Welcome to this episode of the award-winning Best of Left Podcast. This is a sample of our recent bonus episode, usually only available to members.

These episodes are comprised of our crew of researchers, Amanda, and myself all getting together

for a roundtable discussion on topics that we find interesting. So here's a few minutes for free so you can know what all the fuss is about.

Yet other sides are still being platformed, as if that's just as valid as all of the cases that went through trials and were declared again that there was nothing wrong with the elections.

That's not the same thing. Those don't equate to one another.
