0:00.0 | So the votes have been cast, the ballots have been counted, the new president-elect and vice-president-elect |
0:11.7 | have been announced, and the world has let out a collective sigh, which I'm pretty sure |
0:16.2 | you've done so as well, Adij, and I've done so as myself. But I want to know what does this win truly mean? |
0:22.3 | Because to be honest, right now at this point, I feel like I'm extremely uncomfortable with who |
0:26.4 | is in office just as much as who was in office, if that makes sense. Yeah, I think that makes a lot of |
0:32.8 | sense, De Nia. And I'm so glad that you brought that up. I feel like what is the real win here is the collective |
