This week, we’re going unscripted with a potpourri of election-adjacent topics centered around one theme: What’s really on the line this Election Day? We’re talking about:

• 
  

  How political messaging is making Americans feel like they have to choose between putting food on the table and saving democracy.

  
  


• 
  

  The difference in the pre-election narratives we’re seeing from the Republicans and the Democrats.

  
  


• 
  

  The differences in red and blue economic policies.

  
  


• 
  

  The rise of stochastic terrorism after the 2020 election, especially against political figures.

  
  


• 
  

  The number of election deniers on midterm ballots, and how that might undermine the integrity of elections in the future.
