“In reality, the only accountability mechanism is that we agree to turn out and that we agree to chime in, right? And so if we choose, when we're talking about primaries, 15, 12% turnout, we are not keeping our end of the bargain.”
Ranked choice voting is being touted as a cure-all for U.S. deep partisan divides

I loved teaching Intro to AFAM this semester. I asked these 2Qs and the answers were great! I got a little emotional on their answers to Q1:
1. What is one thing you learned from this course that will stick with you?
2. Who is your top Artist on Spotify/Apple Music in 2023?

This is an urban politics book! You can’t change my mind. Where Harlem Shuffle was hard to get into, this one grabbed my attention right away. I loved it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
