Once again... it is left up to Generation Z to solve a political problem NOT of our making. In this episode, I discuss the plague of polarization, its effects on our society, and how we can improve on what our current leaders are doing. 

Lastly, it is with much consideration and thought that I announce this is my last episode as the Politically Minded Gal. Be sure to stay until the end of the episode to hear why I'm concluding this 3-year project and where you can find my episodes. 

Thank you for listening! - Ashley
