In today's episode, Jeff and Susan would like to give you hope that our country doesn’t have to be so hatefully divided when it comes to politics. To that end, they have posted two separate interviews: one with DeShauna Blankinship who is voting for Kamala Harris (this episode), and one with Greg Porter who is voting for Donald Trump (see Part 1).

Please note that Jeff and Susan don’t necessarily agree with everything their interviewees say here, AND they will always advocate for your right to vote for whomever you choose. Enjoy the episodes!
