  • The pandemic dominates the final week of the election, the dueling candidate schedules reflect their most likely paths to 270, and what the early vote can and can’t tell us about the election. Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett and Tommy Vietor discuss the coronavirus outbreak amongst Vice President Mike Pence's staff as cases spike nationwide. Then they discuss Donald Trump and Joe Biden's polls and campaigns in swing states as we enter the last week of the 2020 election.

    Crooked believes that we need a better conversation about politics, culture, and the world around us-one that doesn’t just focus on what’s broken, but what we can do to fix it. At a time when it’s increasingly easy to feel cynical or hopeless, former Obama staffers Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor have created a place where people can have sane conversations that inform, entertain, and inspire action. In 2017 they started Crooked with Pod Save America-a no-bullshit conversation about politics. Since then, we continue to add shows, voices, and opportunities for activism, because it’s up to all of us to do our part to build a better world. That’s it. End of mission.

    Dear God America. Don't ruin this for us. We need you to do the right thing. We need America to take Climate change seriously (we're already below sea-level...). We need America to take democracy seriously (a Trump-appointed diplomat literally held a fundraiser for a Dutch far right conspiracy theory believing politician). We need you to not screw this up. Please. I beg of you.
    Anyways, I'm back to checking 538 and the economist forecast religiously.

      I’m Belgian, I fully agree with the Dutch guy above. Because of coronavirus, most Europeans aren’t paying enough attention to the American elections right now. Trump has been a bad influence on the politicians leaning towards, or on the far right. You can clearly see them copying strategies and trying out what they can get away with. In my country, especially the lying has increased since they’ve been watching the Donald.

      Thanks for setting up my question. Since it's definitely a possibility, 1. what are your plans (PSA crew) if things go south on election day? 2.What would you advise for those of us who literally can't take four more years of this. And on the flip side, what are we going to do to address Trumpism with or without Trump? Because ultimately we have to come to grips with the fact that the existential problem isn't Trump but that there exists s large group of people who believe that someone like Trump is a good idea. How can we prevent future Trump's from happening and stop the rapid rise of fascism in America? A big talking point in comments in the last two weeks I've noticed is that the USA is a constitutional republic in replying to comments about this and that being undemocratic. As if to say that the US is not a democracy.

      We also have a very individualistic culture that was created (or at least renewed) by the Reagan conservatives in the 1980s. Where a lot of societies focus on helping the less fortunate, Americans tend to focus on themselves, and even resent immigrants/the poor for being helped. That fits in perfectly with the Trump ideology.

      A lot of people are not financially stable this period and it's not easy, I always advise people, don't just waste your stimulus checks or salary, invest it in something that will yield more, even if it is a part of it. We can't keep relying on a paycheck that is already half-spent before we even receive it, there are investment opportunities that have helped a lot of people especially in the financial market. Having different streams of income is essential in this pandemic, especially now most of us have to earn and work from home. I've made impressive progress so far this year and it has helped me sort out a lot of bills and I do that through a registered investment company.
