We live at a time where our politics define our identity, and we are often reduced down to our political labels and identity. Join Amir and I as we explore what it means to think for ourselves, be open-minded, and avoid the tribalism of our politics. It’s time to overcome our labels. We discuss Black Lives Matter, Trump, 2024, and the LGBTQ+ community.
