This week on Fake the Nation, comedian and host Negin Farsad is joined by writer/podcaster Jordan Morris and democracy advocate and host of More Like Us Podcast, Colin Cole. Together, they talk about the midterms... like a lot. They go through a litany of takeaways because this Blue Walloping was a (fun) shock to the system.
