George Chung and Colin Cole, leaders at More Equitable Democracy and co-hosts of The Future of Our Former Democracy podcast, dive into the critical intersections of politics and racial justice. They discuss the significance of support systems during elections, the influence of wealth on political agendas, and the potential for proportional representation in the U.S. Their humorous anecdotes balance moments of seriousness as they critique the role of cryptocurrency in shaping voter behavior and the challenges posed by economic disparities in politics.
