The 2020 Vote: The Impact of an Unprecedented Election Year

Play Episode Listen Later Nov 2, 2020 63:43


Today's episode is my take on what to think about for tomorrow's election, and how to navigate an extremely difficult socio-political climate. I discuss some of the more important pieces of how the process works, talk about how I view both candidates, and discuss why things are so difficult right now. It's a hard time to use your voice, but it's more important than ever. However you decide to vote, or if you decide to vote, is a personal and important decision, and we should all be trying to communicate instead of mandate to those around us.
