Summary
This week Negin is joined by Wajahat Ali and Anat Shenker-Osorio, they chat about voting and what democrats should be doing to mobilize, get their messages across, and why they consistently seem to fall short (featuring some words we should probably adopt). Then, a conversation on the banning of books, and Wajahat plugs his new book, 'Go Back To Where You Came From'. Last they talk about an article in the Atlantic that asks 'Is Old Music Killing New Music?'
