In this special two-part episode of *Collective Perspective*, we tackle the 2024 presidential candidates *before* the debate stage chaos unfolds. Are we witnessing a battle of ideas or just a high-stakes popularity contest? With humor, sharp insights, and a mix of diverse viewpoints, we explore the policies, integrity, and leadership (or lack thereof) behind each candidate.
From the voters’ perspective, are we engaged citizens or just cannon fodder in a political spectacle? Tune in as we cut through the noise, challenge assumptions, and find out if this election is about more than just the drama.
We would like to thank special guests, Brandy Mackey, and Jamey Brock for their perspectives and friendship.
