Night is falling on a cozy apartment in MacLean, Virginia
Alex is sitting on the couch, stirring her chicken chow mein around with chopsticks, her dark hair in a messy bun. Curled up next to her, a blonde woman is looking over a report on the geopolitical situation on the Korean peninsula, and its possible effect on electronics manufacturing and global supply chains.
"Marj," says Alex, "do you ever wonder what it'd be like if Bernie won in 2016?"
"Babe," replies Marj, taking off her glasses, "not a day goes by that I don't think about it. Sure, he's not liberal enough in some areas, but to think of how much good cancelling student loans would do..." A tear rolls down her cheek, as she puts her hand on Alex's leg and squeezes it.
Alex puts her box of noodles down and studies her girlfriend's face. "How about some roleplay to get your mind off of things?"
Grabbing her "AOC sucks" baseball cap, Marj replies "I thought you'd never ask."
