This episode is a must-listen for anyone who's ever wondered why some people are so passionate about democratic socialism. Mandy dives into the world of over-educated and under-employed individuals who are driving the movement, and shares some surprising statistics that will make you think twice about the value of a college degree.

The conversation touches on the idea that many people with advanced degrees are struggling to make ends meet, and are often overwhelmed by their own debt. Mandy shares a personal anecdote about a friend who pursued a master's degree in social work, only to find herself struggling to pay off her loans. This leads to a discussion about the value of a college education and whether it's worth the cost.

Mandy also discusses the Democratic Socialist platform and how it's attracting a certain type of individual - those who are over-educated and under-employed. They share some interesting statistics about the demographics of this group, including the fact that 19% of people with postgraduate degrees making less than $30,000 a year identify as very liberal.
