Description

"Every organization needs to be criticized and should be criticized. But there's a difference between criticism and false equivalency."  A common criticism of American politics is that "both parties are two sides of the same coin." Wypipologist Michael Harriot disagrees and explains that Black people should vote for who they believe represents the aims and goals of the Black community at large. Presuming that both are the same suggests voting doesn't matter, and if Black people don't vote, they're allowing wypipo to make all the political decisions in the United States.
