Teen Drama Links for November 5, 2024
I don’t know how the 2024 presidential election will end. But I do know watching the teen drama election episodes is far less stress-inducing.
For election day four years ago, I compiled a look at all the teen drama episodes that revolve around elections. Of course, none of those are of the “president of an entire country” variety, but looking back at far less consequential (and, uh, fictional) elections are a great escape on days like today.
Take a look and let me know which episode gets your vote.
