Chris Freiman, a West Virginia University professor and author of "Why It's Okay to Ignore Politics," challenges the notion that voting is a moral obligation. He suggests that individuals may achieve greater good through philanthropy instead of electoral participation, especially in non-swing states. The conversation navigates the moral complexities of voting, the balance of individual versus collective power, and the responsibilities in times of political crisis. Freiman encourages listeners to rethink how they allocate their resources between political engagement and charitable actions.
