Tim you are right! Your first guest is acting as it is 2016: let’s register more people to vote (I am one of those he is talking about, l am waiting until last possible time as a fist time voter so I don’t get called for jury duty. Sorry fellow citizens, I am working 3 jobs, I don’t have the bandwidth to even call to get out of jury dury), blah, blah, blah. It reminds me of a date in 2016 at a brewery in Denver when I told my husband friend group of highly educated people in press, education and academia that if my walks with the secretaries coworkers at a school district in West Denver had any validity, Trump would win (that was my little personal focus group). I was pretty much told that I knew nothing (“You chose to stay a foreigner, you don’t understand American politics,” literal quote) and that if anything the county I was working at was getting more Democrat. I must admit that I enjoy telling them I told you so since then. Biden can’t afford to lose people on the margins, and the day of the elections the couch may look a lot more appealing. You can’t tell people to shut up and vote because they know better. That never works.
