In this episode, we imagine a world in which Sarah is the Democrat's nominee and Beth is the Republican's nominee.

In this episode of the Briefcase, we discuss what listeners are teaching us about gender and race in our conversations. Since Dante isn't on the episode for this discussion, we wanted to share his sentiments:  I'm so glad my presence on the show inspired people to reach out to us, both in positive and critical ways. It's helped reaffirm that this show is and will always be about our listeners. I know this because until very recently I was one, and I know how much this show means to me and all of us. I've always learned from our community and will continue to do so to make this the best show it can possibly be. Y'all, never stop bringing that passion because as soon as that stops we've got a much bigger problem than a man crashing the Pantsuit Politics party. Smooches. - Dante.  Hosted on Acast.

Peter Drucker famously said that "culture eats strategy for breakfast." We take a look at the role of culture in this election season by discussing Hillary Clinton's "basket of deplorables" comments and sharing our interview with Nikki Johnson-Huston, attorney, advocate, and the author of "The Culture of the Smug White Liberal." We also briefly cover the cease-fire in Syria, how September 11 influences our generation, and the "life-changing" power of paring things down.  Hosted on Acast.

After starting the show with world political news including our new agreement with China and Brazil's impeachment, we tackle immigration. We attempt to define the problem, discuss the emotion of immigration, and seek a path forward. As Labor Day weekend comes to a close, we also share some sadness (and gladness) at the end of summer. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On Tuesday's episode, we'll talk about immigration. We find that the opinions about immigration are often unaccompanied by actual facts, so we're giving you a 20 minute overview in advance of our discussion on what's working and what's not working.  Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, we discuss Congressional term limits. What problems would they solve? What problems would they create? And where do they belong on the #crazymoderate agenda? First, in the Pearls, we get excited (or maybe "prepared" is a better word) for the upcoming Presidential debates, cover the United Nations report on violence in Syria, and, as always, offer our compliments to the other party. Finally, in the Heels, we discuss the best things we've eaten lately.  Hosted on Acast.

From The Aid to Dependent Children to the current Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, our welfare system has come in many different versions and forms. What does the history of welfare tells us about its purpose and whether or not we are currently fulfilling it? Hosted on Acast.

After briefly reviewing the weeks' major economic policy speeches from Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, we dive into a discussion of whether and to what extent ethics in politics still matter. Should politicians be judged by voters on the ways they use power, or should we, as Sarah likes to say, stop hating the players and hate the game? We talk about ethical judgments of Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, and third parties. In The Heels, we talk about our newfound interests in bullet journaling.  Hosted on Acast.

We tackle feedback that Beth is leaving the GOP unrepresented in our discussions and we're both no experts on Olympic coverage if we're not watching the Olympics. We also discuss the new Anti-Trump conservative Evan McMullin and his entry into the 2016 presidential race. Hosted on Acast.

White males without a college degree are Donald Trump's strongest demographic. With ugly media portrayals of unfiltered racism and misogyny at Trump rallies, we ask if there is any nuance to be found amongst this white male resentment. We also discuss the Olympics in The Pearls and Beth's vacation and back-to-school in The Heels.  Hosted on Acast.
