Unedited Musings: Why Weeks at #1 > Most Majors of All Time

Real Quick: On 2020 Debate Topics…

Pollical debates in such a polarized landscape do not care the same weight as they once did. Did you watch the 2016 debates? Did you see the result in the election? This post is not really about the debates as much as the obvious, latent framing of race in society…
