EPISODE 2 - CARDI B MAY BE SMARTER THAN POTUS | WE'RE NOT CRYING; YOU'RE CRYING | THE INTERNETS GIVETH AND THE INTERNETS TAKETH AWAY OUR ABILITY TO VOTE
In Episode 2 of The Rabble, we laugh, we cry, and we might just twerk a little. We go all heart-eyes for Cardi B and a bunch of other rabble-rousers, and we learn a little about a bill that would have completely changed the life of someone close to Becky if it had already been passed several years ago. Plus, we talk to Amanda Gnaedinger from Common Cause Texas to find out why we can do everything in life on the Internets EXCEPT register to vote... and what we can do to change that.
