Description

In this debut episode, Gabs breaks down one of America’s messiest group projects: the Electoral College. Why does it exist? (Spoiler: racism.) How does it work? (Barely.) Who benefits? (Guess.) From prom-queen chaos analogies to espresso-martini red flags, Gabs makes the system make sense—minus the math. You’ll learn: 💅🏽 Why the founders basically said “we don’t trust the girls, the gays, the theys—or literally anyone.” 💅🏽 How the Three-Fifths Compromise boosted slave-holding states’ political clout. 💅🏽 Why small, rural, mostly white states still have outsized power today. 💅🏽 How you can actually hold your senators and reps accountable so your vote isn’t giving “sidelines chic.” Then stick around for Hot Girl History, where we spotlight educator and organizer Septima Clark, the mother of citizenship schools and one of the real MVPs of the Civil Rights Movement. From fighting literacy tests to training Rosa Parks, she walked so today’s civic educators, TikTok explainers, and grassroots organizers could run.
