The Weeds: Super Tuesday/Exhausted Wednesday special!

In this episode of The Weeds, Ezra, Matt, and Sarah discuss the results of Super Tuesday. Everyone is tired, so it gets a bit weird. Topics include whether Donald Trump is actually a moderate, how the election shows American politics is either polarizing or depolarizing, and whether Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton would be a stronger general election candidate.

Oh, and Sanders has finally convinced Matt that free college —including for Donald Trump's kids — is a good idea!

Show notes:

• Andrew Prokop on how Trump only needs 14 more days
• RNC hails high GOP primary turnout
• Primary voters don't look like America
• Amanda Taub on Trump voters and authoritarianism
• Donald Trump is the perfect moderate
• What Alabama Trump fans say
• NYT kinda sorta calls Trump backers racists
• Trump has no shame
• Sarah on single-payer
• Ezra on Bernie's worrying management style

We're here to shed some clarity

One of our core beliefs here at Vox is that everyone needs and deserves access to the information that helps them understand the world, regardless of whether they can pay for a subscription. With the 2024 election on the horizon, more people are turning to us for clear and balanced explanations of the issues and policies at stake. We’re so grateful that we’re on track to hit 85,000 contributions to the Vox Contributions program before the end of the year, which in turn helps us keep this work free. We need to add 2,500 contributions this month to hit that goal. Will you make a contribution today to help us hit this goal and support our policy coverage? Any amount helps.
