The Constitution, Electoral College & Identity Politics

Dean Karayanis, New York Sun columnist and former member of Rush Limbaugh’s “highly overrated staff,” takes over The Derek Hunter Podcast, diving into hot-and-spicy political debates and cultural issues: Constitutional Debates & Kentucky Politics: Analysis of Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear's calls for constitutional amendments, abolishing the Electoral College, and demanding “proof of life” for Sen. Mitch McConnell. Electoral College vs. Popular Vote: A breakdown of James Madison’s original intent, the balance of power between low- and high-population states, and alternative systems like district-based electoral votes. Standards & Identity Politics: A commentary on institutional standards, identity-driven hiring, and the societal pressures around public accountability. Cambridge University’s drive to tick a box by hiring Jason Arday ended, when he could no longer keep up the façade, in him taking his own life because he’d just never been equipped with the tools he needed in life.
