In today’s episode, Dylan prepares us for the elections of 2024 and gives us his advice on how not to repeat the past but learn and grow from it. He will be addressing the following points as to why a redo of the 2020 elections is not beneficial to our country: The age of the two possible candidates is a factor and will not help the country that yearns for change, hope, and better ideas. The nature of each candidate's public support or lack thereof should allow us to find a better and more worthy candidate to lead the country and want to make a difference for all Americans and not just some. The rehashing of the 2020 elections, which for most Americans was not a modal of democracy, should not be duplicated as it will take us further back when we need to be moving forward.

Many of us in America have grown frustrated, apathetic, and disenchanted with the state of politics in this country. Both political parties, the media, and social media have worsened this divide in recent years. Most of the things we hear and see in regard to the state of politics in this country borderlines on insanity. Our goal here at Change Our Talk is to provide a perspective that attempts to restore some sanity and common sense to conversations. Our goal is to be informative, thought-provoking, and reasonably objective. If our politics are going to change, we need to change the way we talk about political issues. We are not interested in the pre-packaged political talking points, catchphrases, or "bumper sticker" politics. We are interested in policy and how those policies affect Americans.  You can always find out more at www.changeourtalk.com or follow us on Instagram @change_our_talk Be sure to subscribe so you never miss an episode and leave a review or comments.
