The Laziest Way To Lose An Election | 10-21-25

Lionel strips away noble illusions to deliver the brutally honest doctrine of politics as a “blood sport,” where states and politicians act primarily out of self-interest, power, and survival. Dive deep into the dysfunctional New York City mayoral race featuring Cuomo, Mamdani, and “Caped Crusader” Curtis. Lionel dissects the strategic dilemma of whether Curtis acts as a “spoiler” guaranteeing a victory for Mamdani, potentially requiring supporters to “hold your nose and vote for Cuomo”. Beyond the local drama, hear discussions on globalists and destabilization, the “exclusive” and “laziest” Republican approach, and the essential absurdity of NYC life—from flying manhole covers and terrible cabs to the true meaning of a “New York second”. Finally, the episode plunges into profound philosophical depths: Is all human action predetermined by biology, or do we possess free will?
