  • Weve had him on the show a few times, most recently to talk about voting reform in an episode called why dont we have better candidates for president?

  • He is enthusiastic about voting reform, especially open primaries and ranked choice voting.

  • He's also enthusiastic about the idea of a universal basic income, which he brought to mainstream attention when he ran for president in 2020.
