Wait…Can you hear it? The constant political ads, the texts from campaigns you never signed up for, and relentless social media debates mean that election season is here in full force. Seriously though, this may be one of the most important election cycles of our time, and by our, I mean Gen Z. 

Today, we’re diving into the real thoughts, hopes, and frustrations of college students as they navigate today’s political landscape. Joining me for this roundtable discussion are Alexandra Nelson, Gabrielle Cassell, and Jasmine Patrick. A sophomore, junior, and senior respectively, they attend Spelman College and serve as hosts for the school’s collegiate and social justice-orientated podcast, The Blue Record.  

In our chat today, we discuss the issues that matter most to us as students and members of Gen Z, our reactions to the recent televised debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and Former President Donald Trump, and why it’s important to maintain a sense of political imagination when thinking about our future as a country.
