We discuss everything having to do with politics, but our focus is on Millennials and the progressive ideals that are so popular among our generation, as well as the lack of Millennial representation within our government.

2024 Election... Where You do the Voting Thing
Jordan and Taylor unpack the upcoming 2024 election. We don't "support" Biden really, but the reality is, it will be him or Trump in the White House for 4 more years.

We cant help that neither of these presidents are anything other than two different apple flavored products, but you can vote for local people who can stand up for what you believe.
