Claim OwnershipAmerican Elections: Wicked Game
Description
On February 10th, 1796, Vice President John Adams wrote to his wife Abigail, lamenting the state of discourse in the country. The election was nearing—and becoming heated. Newspapers screamed, factions warred, and John Adams was dismayed with what he called “the wicked Game.”
Americans in 2023 can relate. They still have to endure months of shouting, outrage, and the worst sort of political rancor as the country once again chooses its president.
But it’s almost always been this way. And to prove it, American Elections: Wicked Game will review the entire history of presidential elections, from the unanimous and inevitable election of George Washington in 1789 to Donald Trump’s surprise electoral victory in 2016—and his contested defeat in 2020.
From the host of the American History Tellers and American Scandal, this podcast will explore all 59 presidential elections to discover that there never never was a “good ol’ days,” and that presidential politics has always been played dirty.

I just knew the 2024 election would beat two parter. There is NO way you could cover THIS election in just an hour and sixteen minutes.
I CAN NOT wait until you cover the 2024 election in 2028. Oh man can you cover it under 4 hours?
the old episodes are inaccessible and the new ones have different times despite being the same episodes. interesting. perhaps history is being rewritten in the reuploads. would love to know the differences and why Wondery did this.

Hey why are over half of the episodes gone?
are these links broken? the old episodes won't download anymore, and only the first ten episodes have been reuploaded again.
History proves the obvious that was always so apparent to at least half of American Voters! Then again, Basement Joe and with the massive media push to cover the Biden family while falsely creating claims to a legal fearsome 3rd world country… This has been the most blatant disgraceful and disturbing event yet in modern day American history. All Americans now know that the 2 parties are distinctly different from now on. It is shameful. There is no democracy in the Democratic Party anymore!
I really loved this series until the very last episode. alternate history being told here. very biased towards lie. oh well it's over now anyway
yeah, even though I hate Trump, it's dishonest for so many social media giants to be using him as an easy scapegoat to represent all the things we hate about politics/money/big business. It shifts the focus off of a harder issue: personal accountability. We can choose the harder road of informed economical decisions. Not continuing to make the same mistakes our parents and their parents and we ourselves have made. Stop letting ourselves be lulled into placidity by emotionally-charged media that shifts the burden off our shoulders. We live in an age of free nearly boundless information, unlike any time in history.. Do what you can to keep yourself educated and well-rounded. And, more specifically to this topic: let's use our money the way we use our vote and stop shoveling money to rich greedy amoral thugs because it's easier.
Thank you President Biden. I have supported you since before you announced. #BIDEN2024!!
Progressives always whining about the Democratic party preferred Hillary. NO FUCKIN SHIT!! BERNIE IS AN INDEPENDENT!!!
I've loved this podcast for awhile. BUT, now, after listening to trump/biden presidential episode I will never listen to it again! it makes me question ALL the other Presidential narrative given! TOTALLY bias for biden! I'm very disappointed since I've listened for yrs
love this podcast. Wish more Americans understood how fragile democracy is. We need post January's coup attempt, update, before a civil war breaks out again. The 1840s and 1870s seem to be repeating. Thank you, Lindsey
Four minutes in, the lack of factual material and narrative, it was pretty apparent what this podcast was actually about. The liberal bubble is cold and dark.... and ridiculous. lol. ugh
I think this episode is going to need some updates and addendums... it’s been a wild month.
I love the new cover image for this podcast. I can remove my sticky note from the half that showed the orange clown now.
Listened to your podcast from the very beginning to the last one. Great series. Whether your a Republican, Democrat or Independent facts are facts and I learned quite a bit from listening. Thank you for the great work.
This episode left me smiling like no other. I am not a tremendous Biden supporter, but the idea of that abhorrent orange buffoon in the White House for four more years was more than many could manage.
Fantastic series, thank you Lindsay.
Great alternative history story. One sided and anti Trump
