I cannot watch this because I cannot see on the screen of my phone or hear the sound that well and have no tablet. However, I can encourage us to also think about what Prof. Thomas Zimmer wrote about democracy in the US. His advantage of not being American, is that he has a view of US democracy from the outside.

However, given that we know the US is not very democratic at this point in time, I believe in the American women to vote on the issues that affect us all, like having access to reproductive care, whatever it may be, as part of access to health care for all of our needs.

Here is a list of 5 reasons for hope from the Kamala4Prez Substack too.

such a topical discussion...thank you for probing what is going to happen starting around 9pm on November 5th. I'm certain that Trump will claim fraud if it looks like he's losing the. vote (or even a close vote).

Threats of fraud are the obvious next play by MAGA.

I'm interested in Marc Elias' and Sarah Langwell's take on what will happen next. Thank for your very informed conversation.

Nice podcast, they are always great. Elon Musk stating NJ voting for Trump? Chef's kiss!

Great question and answer from Aaron Rupar to David Nir about polling error. Aaron asked if this year's polling error is toward Harris or Trump. David gave a good response that Harris overperformance is possible based on fundraising, and that polling companies would be hurt by a failed projection of a Trump win.
