I think it's really frustrating to see conversations unfold where people accuse one another of denying history,

either because of the minimization of the role that the institution of slavery played,

or the focus on that role.

It's just both, and you can't understand this well without understanding how slavery impacted the decisions that they made.

This is Sarah and Beth, your listening to Pant Suit Politics.

The home of grace filled political conversations.

Hello, everyone. Welcome to another episode of Pant Suit Politics.

We are thrilled to be here with you today.

And before we deep dive into five things you need to know about the Electoral College,

we wanted to say thank you so much for the rating and reviews on iTunes.

Please keep them coming.

And we wanted to share one with you because they've been so delightful to read.

Jess wrote, I guess it's like a little poem.

She wrote Pant Suit Politics.

How do I love the, let me count the ways you're run down of the news,

gives the benefit of the doubt and critiques multiple perspectives.

You allow me to practice my new on skills, not just with politics,

but in any area of my life with conflict, you help me identify when someone's views

is so black and white and how that often comes from a place of fear.

You show me that I'm still a work in progress and that's okay.

You give me hope that I might be able to address family members someday

by sharing stories of people who have.
