Sithty Minutes

Welcome back Kyber Squadron! This week, Andrés sat through the presidential debate to provide insight into just how much of a mess it was. Kamala won the audio clip debate, Trump won according to his base, and the money behind both candidates won the election as neither side really dug into the specifics of the policies being discussed. The fact that some of the most memorable moments are either lies, zingers with no policy, or 10 second sound bites is a loss for every single voter in the US. However, that won't stop Andrés from digging deeper into the audio bites.

Welcome aboard Kyber Squadron! This week, Andrés takes time to explore the recent election results in his home coutnry of Venezuela. What seems like a slam dunk issue in the US actually has multiple shades of complexity. Just like the choice between Valorum and Palpatine, Venezuela's political future won't be solved even with this election.
