On Politics and Community: An Unvarnished Take on the Current Landscape
Manage episode 431390355 series 3565321
In this episode, I am so excited to welcome my longtime bestie and political confidante, Jennifer Filipowski, for a discussion about the current state of American politics. Having shared experiences over the past three decades, we dig into the political landscape, sharing our perspectives and concerns about the future.
We discussed the recent Republican National Convention (one of us watched some of it, the other none of it). The conversation then shifts to the historic nomination of Kamala Harris as the Democratic vice presidential candidate, where we consider our hopes, fears, and reservations about a potential Harris presidency.
Throughout the discussion, we address important topics such as the challenges of getting people engaged in politics, the crucial role of party involvement, and the implications of the Heritage Foundation's "Project 2025" plan.
