We The People

I’ve watched Steve Kornacki highlight the least important aspects of vitally important elections to drive worn-out tropes and the status quo for way too long.

It’s gonna be a fucking landslide. Perhaps one as big as 1984. (Okay, probably not going to happen, but please allow me this one moment of magical thinking.)
