Instead of telling us how bad things are, help us come up with solutions. I don't know what I can do to stop this madness.

Danielle & Waj, Thank you for your amazing work. Out here in Seattle, I've been binging on this and the two prior episodes. You and your guests inspire and sustain me. Janet E Ploss Seattle, WA
this episode is pure gold 😂
I Would Die 4U like a mf!
Why must Danielle curse so much? its very grating.
Your anger for white supremacy is real and yes, absolutely. But you screamed all along you wanted Joe, Joe is safety, you only want to beat trump. So? You got what you wanted - Joe. The racist, the rapist, the mentally declined Joe. Victory?!, The ironies of life with now you have demands? U organizing a movement to achieve that? Ha. Stop confusing voters..but hey, it's too late for that too, "wokeaf" lol
Yeah ok done and unsubscribing. STACEY ABRAMS?! The woman who thinks "FAIR fight" is the one where Bloomberg pays? I've said goodbye to Pod Save America for this main stream bs, why would this be different. Clear your minds, guys. #NeverBloomberg and those who he bought, yeah I know, that's a large army. #boycottMSM.
I'm having a hard time listening to this, more and more ongoing. Check out independent media for actual facts on Warren flipping on various issues, on and on. People SEE THAT. it's NOT about her gender. You've got to stop watching msnbc and spreading msm bs further. I'm getting wokeaf from your wokeaf... :(
Not sure how Toure can make a claim for Sherrod Brown being from Ohio but not Nina Turner. Also, Biden was Obama's VP to bring Foreign Policy experience to the ticket and Pence was brought on to get the white Evangelicals.
I'm with Touré on this one all the way. Yes, progressives, yes, Bernie. Centrism and moderation got us to today. Time to throw up the rug and everything must go.
#MAGAMOVE! #NOTallwhitewomen No, really :)))
Sun downing indeed. Wow on that game...
But you should still try to say names correctly. Shows basic ability to respect others.
Well, at least the 3 hosts stormed each other lol I like the high spirits ish and wishing us all best of luck with candidates. Before Bloomberg...
"it could have been you" is generally applicable to all humans able or not able to find compassion for others. Not just % of certain gender and color. How sad we can't all feel it could've been us any time a black person is murdered by a cop, or a child is placed into a cage, or a kurd is kicked out of the land their family lives on, or someone becomes homeless or.... It can always be any of us, friends.

I wonder who is supporting this podcast?
Hello, I just found out about this podcast and I'm glad its here because it's good for youger black people to have a voice in politics 😁 I want to ask you how you feel about Andrew Yang? I've been watching a ton of his interviews and I am now a supporter. I left the democratic party and became an Independent for now until its time to vote again, since I live in Maryland. Also, why is it that it's starting to feel like 2016 when Hillary Clinton was shove down our throats. I was a Bernie Sanders supporter back then in the primary's but later voted for Hillary to win even though I knew she would lose. Just so you know, I'm a 40 year old black woman working as a city letter carrier born and raised in D.C. and a long time fan since MTV. ✌🏾💜💪🏾
