Our first article for this podcast addresses the call we’ve been hearing from more and more Democrats to abolish the electoral college—of course, not because there’s actually anything wrong with the system but because Trump won. The article is “Unless You Want a Mobocracy, Don’t Kill the Electoral College” by Pradeep Banerjee. Indeed, without it, LA and NYC would basically run the country. God help us! Banerjee takes us through the steps of what would actually happen if we abolished the college, and, well, it wouldn’t be pretty! Then we presented the piece “Twenty Years o...

You all know the deal by now, so let’s just move right on to the articles.

Greetings and salutations, one and all, and welcome back to our USA Really weekly podcast where we give you a quick rundown of everything we’ve posted over the past week, covering all the latest and hottest topics. But before we get into the articles, something more important is that Orthodox Great Lent is upon us. In the Orthodox tradition, we enter this time of fasting and preparation for the Lord’s Resurrection by asking and offering forgiveness to everyone we have offended over the past year, and maybe even those we don’t think we’ve offended. We wipe our slates clean...
