The world is a cruel sick place and someone has to stop those who would seek to harm us! Such is the state of our world, which is why we chose to cover the midterm elections. To be clear, the future of American government is on the line. Do you want minority rule and the entrenchment of power in an unelected group? Or do you want to vote for Democrats? The choice is that easy.
The world is a cruel sick place and someone has to stop those who would seek to harm us! That is also the thesis of the film Election! What a pleasant coincidence. The young Tracy Flick tries her best to become student body president while her teacher Jim McAllister does everything he can to stop her. Brilliant performances by Reese Witherspoon and Matthew Broderick list the film from typical teen farce to something else entirely, but is there a surprise twist behind this tale of adults abusing teenagers? Listen to find out!
