  5. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSponsored by democracy. Swipe up to vote.

  7. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentNever mind. NPR says voters soured on both parties, so this is a rebrand.

  8. Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistRight. Both parties lost them and one hired a guy with a ring light. I'd have started with a phone call.

  9. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentA call?

  10. Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistI'll do it myself. First post: light drizzle, bring a coat. Hashtag drizzle.
