  • Summary

  • Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and AHHHHH PRE-ELECTION TALK! In our last installment before the 2024 US election, we bring the campaign stories that are top of mind to the table. As per usual, Dems are winning the star power battle... and the GOP got Kid Rock in the national divorce. Bad Bunny endorsed Harris following reprehensible commentary about Puerto Rico that happened at Trump's 1930's fascist rally at Madison Square Garden. He has over 45 million IG followers, and with large populations of Puerto Ricans in key swing states, this may in fact be an October surprise of the Trump campaign's own doing. 200k people canceled the Washington Post after owner Jeff Bezos killed the editorial board's endorsement of Kamala Harris. Is Bezos hedging his bets just in case Trump wins? Bezos claims the decision was made to protect the newsroom's credibility, but his efforts to simmer the dissatisfaction of WaPo's readers are falling on deaf ears. At the same time that Russian disinformation campaigns put out fake, AI created footage of ballots being destroyed in Pennsylvania, real ballots were being burned in Washington state and Oregon. As expected, Trump and his allies continue to sow the seeds of disinformation and distrust ahead of the election to clear the path for them to contest a result they don't like. What "secret plan" are Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson referring to? To end our coverage on an empowering note, we recommend watching Michelle Obama bring down the house in Michigan over the weekend. We make our own electoral map predictions! Make yours here: https://www.270towin.com/ We won't be releasing a regular episode next Wednesday, but look forward to a BREAKING NEWS style episode release when the victor is called... This week's recommendations are all on theme: Have 866-OUR-VOTE on speed dial if you have trouble voting this week (Pam), a WaPo tool Andrew found handy before he CANCELED his subscription, and remember to pace yourself and not try to stay up all Election night awaiting results (Laura). And in this week's installment of After Dark: One of Andrew's friends ghosted him, and is now looking for new friends in public view. Should Andrew go low or go high here? Have we ever been broken up with by a friend, only for said friend to want us back? Pam's friend breakup eventually realized Pam was a real one, and Laura's friendship breakup merges into MuggleSuck territory! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
