Summary

The Beltway Garage's chief mechanic Virgil Texas takes us for a wonk on the wild side! We focus on the Democrats' electoral strategy of writing open letters demanding socialists vote for Biden, carefully weigh their arguments, and come up with our own endorsement by the end of the episode.

The letters:
