In a time when many voters feel despair following the presidential election, it’s key to remember this is not the end. Americans still have their freedom and there are ways to remain politically active in this critically important time. Yale History Professor Timothy Snyder joins Ali Velshi to explain the work required to keep moving forward with dignity. “Freedom means you decide who you are, and then when things change around you, you continue to be that person. And in so doing, you do constructive work. You set an example for other people. You meet new people who are also trying to remain themselves.”
