I liked the part where President Obama explained the right-wing media message that "these effete coastal liberals are looking down on you and think you're stupid, and so as a consequence whatever they say they don't mean it because all they care about is keeping you down and lifting themselves up"

And not 10 minutes later in a sponsor message for ZipRecruiter y'all made the mock example of if elections were like job interviews "Okay I'm down to my final two candidates: A morally upstanding astronaut and a right-wing nut who used to email anti-democratic screeds to his food co-op"

Stay classy, gentlemen 👍
