The US presidential election will be held in 2 days from when this video is published.
The process of electing who will go on to be the most powerful man in the world always makes for big news but perhaps never more so than in 2020.
The United States is currently in the grips of a major health crisis that has caused untold suffering to people directly affected, and indirectly to people impacted by the economic consequences that came with it.
This is all coming in combination with a mountain of other issues, wealth inequality, trade tensions, nationwide protests, a wildly unstable financial market, record-high levels of debts, and a host of other issues that are certainly getting less airtime in 2020 but are of no less importance.
This election is a chance, at least in theory, for the citizens of America to have their say about how they would like these issues dealt with... and while there are more issues than ever the right solutions are desperately needed.
