I'm joined by political journalists Abby Martin and Mike Prysner (The Empire Files) to identify and discuss how to create a moral political compass. We come up with 5 points: 1. Have a big container. 2. Find your lines in the sand, and beyond that, seek organizability. 3. Ask if a worthwhile narrative is being presented. 4. Do the dual work of individual and collective action at once. 5. Hold those you empower more responsible for their actions. Go to patreon.com/connerhabib to support AEWCH!...
