Episode 106: The Twenty


This week, Jessica and Michael discuss the multitude of Democratic candidates and of ways designers are attempting to organize them for voters, especially with the Democratic debates approaching.

That’s almost the best that most of these people can hope for. And in a way, maybe it's the best that any of them can hope for.
