Midterms got you feelin’ 'mid'?

Tomorrow is Election Day, and I gotta say 8 out of 10 voters want big changes — we’re totally over politics. We talk about how people are disgusted, only 1 in 10 feel optimistic, and both parties look like equally awful menu options. It’s basically choosing between rotten apples while the ads scream “my opponent will destroy America,” which is hilarious and terrifying. We riff on “electile dysfunction” and pitch a fake miracle drug, Votagra, for anyone who can’t get excited about voting — satire vibes, lol. Even so, I’m hitting the polls, and we want you to too, even if it’s just to pick the least bad clown. Takeaways: We joke that politics feels like a gross restaurant menu and I can't pick anything I actually want. I mention a poll where eight out of ten voters want big changes, and that stat lands like a gut punch. We riff on 'electile dysfunction' and our fake drug Votagra to make voting apathy feel laughable but disturbingly real. I admit both parties seem busted and every candidate's ad screams 'they'll destroy America,' which is hilariously over the top. We still say go vote even if you're totally meh, because changing the script takes showing up, not just yelling at the TV.

Tomorrow is Election Day, and I gotta say 8 out of 10 voters want big changes — we’re totally over politics. We talk about how people are disgusted, only 1 in 10 feel optimistic, and both parties look like equally awful menu options. It’s basically choosing between rotten apples while the ads scream “my opponent will destroy America,” which is hilarious and terrifying. We riff on “electile dysfunction” and pitch a fake miracle drug, Votagra, for anyone who can’t get excited about voting — satire vibes, lol. Even so, I’m hitting the polls, and we want you to too, even if it’s just to pick the least bad clown.
