Prominent rapper and actor Ice Cube recently posted a video directing people — in particular black people — not to just give up their vote without any expectation of getting something in return. The statement was clearly a tacit criticism of Democrats insisting that Americans vote blue just because Donald Trump is so terrible.

Jimmy and Due Dissidence hosts Keaton Weiss and Russell Dobular discuss why it’s such a difficult message for so many Democrats to hear that citizens should demand something in exchange for their vote.
