WTH is at stake in the 2020 election? Lessons from history on the danger of going from bad to worse

Subscribe to What the Hell Is Going OnSubscribe

With less than two months until the 2020 presidential election, the Trump and Biden campaigns are working tirelessly to convince undecided voters to choose their candidate. But with ongoing racial unrest, the coronavirus, and increasingly radical political agendas, what’s really at stake in this year’s election?

Dr. Ruth Wisse joined Dany and Marc to discuss the upcoming election and the Democratic Party’s turn toward socialism. She recounts how on a trip to Poland she learned from a former ardent Communist that sometimes the choice is not between good and evil; it is between bad and worse.

Dr. Wisse is a Distinguished Senior Fellow at the Tikvah Fund and is the Martin Peretz Professor of Yiddish Literature and Professor of Comparative Literature Emeritus at Harvard University.
