Election Debrief

This week we’re wallowing in post-election catharsis: Alix and Prathm process the result together, and discuss the implications this administration has for technology politics.

How much of a role will people like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel play during Trump’s presidency? What kind of tactics should the left adopt going forward to stop this from happening again? And what does this mean for the technology politics community?

This episode was recorded on Wednesday the 6th of November; we don’t have all the answers but we know we want to move forward and have never been more motivated to make change happen.
