This week, it might be hot in LA, but the midterms are turning up the heat on America's commitment to democracy. After Steve gives an update on his kids' MCU journey, Dave leads them through Shit My…
The end of the world, part one.
Are you seeing what's happening with the upcoming election? I'm aware.
I'm seeing some of it, of course.
I'm paying attention
as much as I
can.
Well, Republicans are set to burn over a billion dollars on the midterms, but polls continue to look bleak for the GOP.
Actually, at this point, both the House and the Senate may be up for grabs, which, as a pro-democracy type, I am very excited for.
As fascist pieces of shit, right-wing, not so excited.
As we saw the last time they lost an election, Republicans don't lose elections.
You mean they don't, they don't, because they don't, they just, right, they just, they claim that they're going to just never lose.
Exactly.
Like it doesn't matter.
They can't lose.
Election deniers.
Yeah, because the true people, the real people, they are solidly Republican.
Everybody that isn't Republican, you're not really a real person.
So why should you count?
Is it a little like how no one ever dies at Disney World because they don't actually pronounce them dead until they're off the property? Yeah, you don't.
So that way Disney World can go down in history as saying, you know, we've had zero deaths on our property.
I
think it's kind of, yeah,
a little bit like that, except that Even though that person was beheaded by low-hanging scaffolding in Space Mountain, or so the urban legend goes, we didn't actually pronounce him dead until the body and the head were rolled off Disney property.
