51. The Politics of Dating

On this week’s episode, Chatrice and Luis discuss the politics of dating. Before diving in, our hosts catch up. Since last time, Luis is becoming involved in local community organizing efforts and weeks later is still attempting to send postcards; meanwhile, Chatrice has finalized a bae-cation and learned compromise through the process. WIth the main topic, our hosts use the Political Compess Test to guide their conversation on political affiliations and dating. The test covers a wide variety of issues and our hosts ask questions to each other about country support, economy, personal social values, larger society, religion, and s3x.
