This episode--also recorded on facebook--analyzes a the current democratic field from a Black and BlaQueer gaze, while centering the Black poor. The question simple, yet hard to answer, "how tf do we choose a candidate?!" What does it mean to vote--is it harm reduction, a civic duty, a lost cause?--as a Black poor person? Who do you look for? Who are you voting on behalf of? Do we judge the candidates by how we vibe with them? By their policies? Their likability or authenticity? Should they share our backgrounds or identities? Do we center race or class first; or either? These are questions we tackle in this back and forth dialogue between myself and the facebook viewers.
