Summary
In our final episode on third parties, we're doing a deep dive into the role of third party candidates in this year’s critical election. Rahna Epting, the executive director of MoveOn, joins A'shanti to discuss the slate of third party candidates, how they might impact the outcome of the election, and how "the switch" on the Democratic side could impact things. We're laying it all out in this episode, so you have the information ready come November.
