The Millennial's Guide to This Historic Moment

In his circle of friends, Ty Wycoff is "that" politics friend: the one you grab a drink with to catch up on what's happening, shoot a quick text to ask what the news you just heard is all about, and call in a panic on Election Night because Michigan looks like its going to go red, all the while knowing you'll get a history lesson you didn't ask for. Join Ty as he gives you the bigger picture, putting today's political events into historical context with intellectual honesty, authenticity, and millennial snark.
