they're NOT voting, can we change their mind? (dealing with election anxiety and the lesser of two evils)
tensions feel very high this election session and with election day coming closer we can all feel a collective anxiety. part of this anxiety stems from people deciding to not vote in this election because they feel like they’re choosing between a lesser of two evils - which is understandable but is it valid? we talk two young people - a white and hispanic male - who are abstaining from voting and want to understand the reasons behind their decision. to help us further understand the stakes in this election and voting habits, we talk with Rachel Janfaza, a journalist covering gen z political culture and all things related to young voters in U.S. politics.
