He, too, will vote for kamala harris. Meaning liz cheney, dick cheney, and aoc are all voting for the same presidential candidate. These are bizarre times, folks, just to say the least. But maybe just maybe this is the avenger style coalition needed to defeat the american thanos that is donald trump. Joining me now is jelani cobb, staff writer for the new yorker and dean of the co
