6: A Reflection on Principle

The Modernist Perspective Podcast

In many ways, not just this election but how we go forward from here will be a reflection on principle. Are we a selfish country that refuses to self-reflect and gets left behind while the rest of the world works together to come up with solutions to better others’ lives and the planet as a whole or do we acknowledge our shortcomings and work to selflessly improve our nation for better? The choice is up to us and this election will not just be a referendum on Trump, but also a referendum on ourselves and our future. Join us as we discuss some where we go from here.
