  • Unnecessary

    I am an immigrant who is not allowed to vote. I find it unfortunate that you chose to use your platform and influence to direct people to vote for Harris! It has made it difficult for me to listen to your podcast. The very things you talk about in every episode are blatantly rejected by Harris. The contradiction is hard for me to deal with. It seems hypocritical. It feels like a betrayal. I really hope that TGC is not becoming The Gospel Counterfeit!
