The podcast episodes explore different perspectives on the role of voting in democratic systems. While one episode encourages listeners to participate in the democratic process by registering to vote, the other episode argues that voting is more of a ritual than a practical tool for change, advocating for recognizing the inherent illegitimacy of state power and creating alternative systems.

These contrasting views on the function and value of voting in a democracy are examined through the lens of topics such as anarchism, human psychology, and the potential for peaceful resistance against nefarious actors within the political establishment.
