From Poles to Polls

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum share the results of our NLP Election Poll. Y’all responded in FORCE! 336 people took part in our poll, which is more than some national polls. Thank you, NLP Fam!! Our poll shows slightly different results on the attitudes of Black voters, maybe because we actually polled Black people… You can check out an overview of our poll at this link. In Politics Are Everywhere, Nunsense (Tiff’s word) Addition–a Texas Democrat running for County Commissioner has been caught acting a FOOL! Taral Patel was arrested for sending himself fake racist messages on social media, messages that he put together in a collage and shared with his supporters. You can’t make up this NUNSENSE. Speaking of nunsense, the Biden campaign just spent $50 million on a new ad that Angela thinks may have missed the mark. She’ll offer some free advice on how to make an effective ad while Tiffany and Andrew debate if the ads matter at all. And in more important news, Tiffany catches us up on the most severe war-related humanitarian crisis in the world. No, it’s not Gaza. It’s Sudan, where millions of Sudanese people have been displaced and are at risk of famine. Surprised? Well, we’re not surprised that you’re surprised, because news from the continent is so under-covered!! Support Sudan at this link. And of course we’ll hear from you, our #NLPFan listeners. We are 138 days away from the election. Welcome home y’all! —--------- We want to hear from you! Send us a video @nativelandpod and we may feature you on the podcast.
