Daily Kos Radio is LIVE at 9 AM ET!
I think we’re in for some more political science today. Not just who runs primaries and how they do it. But a couple of really interesting stories about the choices political actors have to make, and how even the best intentions can be construed differently by others. Even those who also have the best intentions!
And of course, plenty of stories about people with absolutely horrible intentions. Yeah, we’ve got those. We’ve always got those.
Listen LIVE right here at 9:00 AM ET!
From now on, it will cost you $1,000 per episode to listen to the Kagro in the Morning show on Daily Kos Radio. But for loyal readers of Daily Kos, we’ve reduced that price to... absolutely free!
Why would we make such an amazing offer? Reasons!
But perhaps you’re concerned that such a fantastic deal is too good to be true. That it’s unsustainable. Well, worry no more! We here at Daily Kos Radio will do anything to help set your mind at ease about sustainability, up to and including accepting your PayPal donations, or even recurring, monthly support! For you hipsters, we offer the same monthly option, but with a fancier name, through the KITM Patreon account!
There are thousands of you downloading the podcast and listening to the show live each day, five days a week. That’s about 20 shows each month, so on a per-show basis, mere pocket change from each listener is all it would take to turn this from a pleasant pastime into something my family wouldn’t shake their heads and sigh about.
Give it some thought, won’t you? Thanks!

David Waldman wonders why you all have to be so binary? To assist in healing the nation, David summons the entire KITM A-Team today: Greg Dworkin, and Patton Oswalt, and John Hodgman call New York and the whole rest of the primary selection process for Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. New York ended up being as important as they consider themselves to be, although many weren’t allowed to be as important as they wanted to be, which is not fraud or disenfranchisement, by the way. Also, as usual, it wasn’t the acreage, it was the votes that counted. Greg sorted out the relevant from the merely interesting New York exit polling, and promises a lot more to come in next couple of days. Armando declared today was the day that Greg was the most incredibly, fundamentally, egregiously, wrong. Armando also did not like this article at all. Armando and David vow to delve further into the questions of exit polls, voter support, voter suppression, and the drivers of open and closed primaries. Joan McCarter joins the discussion of what makes fair representation, and how to improve it all, but first tackles the philosophical question of whether Congress even exists at this time. The House Freedom Caucus will graciously allow Speaker Ryan to have some spending votes. Joan also wants to emphasize that the future of the Supreme Court should be foremost in voter’s minds this election, along with getting rid of Chuck Grassley somehow.
