Recorded November 12, 2020. The 2020 American presidential election is finally over. Adam and Peter discuss Biden's victory in the 2020 election and other issues. They begin by talking about Black voters' feelings on victory, then the 2020 ballot results in California, Biden's transition team, Trump's continuation of war in Yemen, and how a Biden/Harris administration means a return to neoliberalism and continuous of endless war.
