On Election Day in 2024, we are determined to not be caught by surprise. A huge part of that simple yet lofty goal is going to be talking to actual human people — gasp we know. Grace Weinstein hit up Washington Square Park to ask anybody and everybody to throw out their hottest political takes. This video has everything: Clones, the Illuminati, “migrants getting rights,” Kate Middleton’s body double, Iranian theocracy, and authoritarian curiosity.

These brave souls rewarded us with chaotic insights about conspiracy theories, authoritarianism, immigration, and much more. After doing some analysis in the lab (rewatching the TikTok compilation we made 100 times), Grace sits down with The Recount’s Senior Politics Producer Steve Morris to deep dive into four lessons we can take away to tell us about where people stand on the issues leading up to November.
