First off - thanks so much for doing this AMA, I love your show and you really are responsible for sparking my interest in current events, government, and politics. When I have conversations with friends and family about politics, all of them fall into the left vs. right viewpoint instead of the reality, which you taught me, us vs. them. Even when I bring up the fact that a majority of Americans think the biggest issue right now is corruption in the federal government, they continue to agrue back and forth, claiming one side is better than the other. It really frustrates me when people can't see the bigger issue: we NEED to get money out of politics. When I explain how to do it, through things like Wolf-PAC and the Anti-American Corruption Act, they write me off and say it can't be done. How do you deal with people who say that it's impossible to end the corruption yet still cling to partisan bullshit, pretending that our leaders represent us?
