Shownotes

Could Elon Musk's American Party shatter the two-party gridlock stifling immigration reform? Hosts Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley debate ranked choice voting, term limits, and increasing congressional representatives for accountability. Guests Audrey Medina and Jerry Valerio discuss third-party challenges, informed voting, and immigrant reciprocity like opportunity circles. Audrey's reading of Warsan Shire's poem "Home" evokes the raw desperation of refugees, while reflections emphasize the immigrant spirit's role in America's future—prioritizing progress over perfection.
