Stroll to the Polls, Divine Nine, Woke Apnea

The "Stroll to the Polls" campaign, involving historically black sororities (The Divine Nine), is analyzed as a performative tool to drive voter turnout for Kamala Harris. The hosts describe the sight of sorority sisters dancing at campaign rallies as "cringe-worthy" and "rude." They coin the term "Woke Apnea" to describe the state of being so deep in identity politics that one loses the ability to see how they are being used.

The Boulé and Black Intellectual Elites in Politics

The Boulé is described as an elite intellectual class of black society, often associated with the Divine Nine Greek fraternities and Ivy League universities, that steers the black majority. Figures like Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama, and Al Sharpton are identified as members of this influential group. The discussion posits that these elites protect their own interests and the interests of candidates like Kamala Harris while ignoring the specific tangibles requested by the ADOS movement.
