Joe Biden really, really likes plans. Be like Joe Biden.
America's favorite uncle Joe Biden wants everyone to be prepared to go vote next Tuesday, and in order to encourage people to think ahead, the vice president teamed up with Hillary Clinton for a handy little video. In it, he lists other instances that call for preparedness — like launching an initiative to modernize and expand access to public transportation, for example. Or making a BLT. Or going to a movie. Or mopping the kitchen.
"Start mopping the kitchen floor without a plan, I'll tell you what, you could end up stuck in the corner for 10, 15, 20 minutes surrounded by nothing but wet floor and memories of your own mistakes," Biden explained. A frightening scenario indeed. Watch him break down Election Day preparedness (conspiracy board and all) below. Jeva Lange
