For those of you fortunate enough to not know us, we are three white guys who have an obsession with politics bordering on a clinical disorder.

Tripartisan aims to be a progressive, unapologetic student voice helping you dissect what is going on in national and global politics each week.MORE Avg Length 52 min Since Jul 2020 Get Email Contact
