I love everyone whose attending, but I can think of nothing more excruciatingly cringe inducing than a multiseries Star Trek Zoom reunion for a political campaign. It’s an SNL sketch come alive.

I’ve been thinking about the nature of the U.S. 2020 election.

They have to win by such a shocking margin that it is evidence this country as a whole has *repudiated Trumpism*.
Not about Dem policy per se. Need to hit RESET on the GOP!
