This unusually large host-group welcomes Tucker Coburn (New York, NY), First Vice Chair of the New York Libertarian Party, and candidate for Libertarian National Committee - and Amanda Kirchgessner, lifelong Tompkins County resident and former Democratic candidate for New York Senate in upstate’s district 58 - to discuss the modern American two-party system — Its past, its present, and the future we’d like to build without it.

Emily and Stephen discuss their histories, their entries into the Bernie world, and the unique paths and experiences that have led them to this podcast. Emily Connor is from the Northwest Indiana and lives in Texas, and Stephen Carpineta is from Philadelphia but has spent most of his life where he lives now, in Upstate New York. The two found a kinship through online humor in Bernie circles and decided they should turn that conversation into an ongoing podcast.

Please forgive the poor audio quality in the first few episodes as we find our stride with gear and protocol. Thanks for listening!
