Our family is planning to watch the election coverage together on Tuesday night. What do you recommend we watch? We'd like some good quality national coverage without getting bombarded by red politics. We don't have cable TV, so are limited to streaming services.

This just sounds stressful.

Why not make batch of mulled wine, watch a film, wake up and check Reuters on Wednesday?

The outcome won't differ. What does election coverage offer that is insightful and useful?

You just don't get the same sense of despair if you don't watch it live.

It's also great excuse to drink while wallowing in dread. I have a bottle of gin set aside for the occasion.
