No, This Won't Be the Last Election Ever

It's here, and Oprah and Joe Rogan and Elon Musk are all saying it'll be the last time we ever get to vote.

We discuss that, and all kinds of other stuff, as we wait...and wait...and wait... Give a listen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
