In the raging pile of slop that is social media, every once in a while you stumble across someone doing something genuinely amazing. That’s how Prop found Amanda Nelson, the creator behind Amanda’s Mild Takes, where she delivers comprehensive breakdowns of politics and history and artfully drags the trolls in her comment section while she’s at it. We had to get to know her. In this episode, Amanda shares why she started making videos in the first place, what motivates her to clap back at haters, and what parallels she sees between the past and the current events happening in the US. She also offers her predictions for the upcoming midterm elections, and weighs in on who might throw their hat in the ring for president in 2028.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
