==Transcript==
[The episode opens in Mr. R’Onion’s Environmental Science classroom.] 
Mr. R’Onion: And President Sanders has officially passed Medicare For All. 
Mr. Pineapple: [slams fist on the desk] What a sell-out! He only nationalized the health insurance industry, doctors are still private employees! 
Mr. Sullivan: Why are we discussing healthcare policy in Environmental Science class? 
Mr. R’Onion: That Bernie is such a fraud! He claims that we now have “universal healthcare”, but not a single tomato is covered under Medicare For All! 
Mr. Pineapple: We’ve got to do something about this poser! His milquetoast half-loaf reforms only serve to pacify the working class and prevent them from rising up and waging war against their capitalist masters! 
Mr. Sullivan: And why are we still in this exact same class when we already took it in our freshman and sophomore years? 
Mr. R’Onion: Be quiet, Dan! You’re acting incredibly unprofessional right now. That’s detention for you. 
Mr. Sullivan: Aw. 
Mr. R’Onion: Anyway, luckily I have just the thing for this. I present to the class, my R’Onion Reverser! 
[An object can be seen sitting in the classroom, covered with a blanket. Mr. R’Onion pulls off the blanket, revealing it to be a bike.] 
Mr. Pineapple: How is a bicycle supposed to help us defeat the neoliberal puppet residing in the White House? 
Mr. R’Onion: It’s not just a bicycle, it’s a time machine! 
Mr. Sullivan: Seriously, what does any of this have to do with Environmental Science? 
Mr. R’Onion: DAN! 
Mr. Pineapple: Okay but why is it a bicycle at all? 
Mr. R’Onion: Because DeLoreans, and all other cars, are environmental disasters. I ride a bike everywhere I go! I originally invented it so I could prevent the Plant Genocide from occurring, but I suppose we could also to use it to prevent Bernie Sanders from winning. 
Mr. Pineapple: And I could also use it to prevent Mr. Hults from blocking me on Instaclam! 
Mr. R’Onion: Well, what are we waiting for? Those elections aren’t going to rig themselves! 
[Mr. Pineapple grins and runs toward the bike.] 
Mr. R’Onion: WAIT! 
Mr. Pineapple: What? 
Mr. R’Onion: Riding without a helmet is incredibly unprofessional. 
Mr. Pineapple: Mr. R’Onion, we don’t have time for this! 
Mr. R’Onion: Of course we do, we have a time machine! 
[Cut to 2016. The bike appears in an election center. The TV is playing.]
Mr. Chillyrooster: With a landslide victory in California, Bernie Sanders has just clinched the Democratic nomination for President of Bikini Bottom. 
[The TV cuts to Mr. Sanders.] 
Mr. Sanders: Thank you, my friends. You know, when we first started this campaign, we had a very uphill battle ahead of us. We took on the entire political establishment - the big money, the special interests, all of it - and we won. But the fight isn’t over yet. Donald Trump is a billionaire who’s sought to divide this country by race, by gender, by sexual orientation- 
Mr. Pineapple: Mr. R’Onion, you didn’t go far enough back! 
Mr. R’Onion: I got tired! Do you know how much work it is to drive four years back on a bicycle?! 
Mr. Pineapple: You’re the one who decided to make the time machine into a bicycle! 
Mr. R’Onion: ANYTHING FOR THE TREES! 
[Mr. R’Onion then hops on the bike, pulling Mr. Pineapple along. He begins pedaling, and they re-appear in the same election center, an hour prior. Mr. Pineapple hops off the bike and picks up a pile of ballots.] 
Mr. Pineapple: They’re all for Bernie! [smirks] But not for much longer…
[He walks over to a shredder, grinning.] 
Mr. R’Onion: TRAVIS! STOP THAT! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! 
Mr. Pineapple: What?! I thought we were here to rig the election! 
Mr. R’Onion: We are! But that’s paper you’re about to shred! 
Mr. Pineapple: So? 
Mr. R’Onion: SO?! THEY’RE TREES! Here, let me take care of it! 
[Mr. R’Onion grabs the ballots from Mr. Pineapple. He then takes out his R’Onion Revivor, shooting the ballots with it. They suddenly all spurt into fully grown trees.] 
Mr. Pineapple: Mr. R’Onion, this is supposed to be an election center. You’ve practically turned it into a forest. 
Mr. R’Onion: Indeed, isn’t it beautiful? 
[Suddenly a door knob can be heard.]
Mr. Pineapple: Gah, someone’s coming in! Hide! 
[He and Mr. R’Onion quickly hide in the closet. A poll worker then walks on, briefly stopping to glance at the trees] 
Poll Worker: …Whatever. [picks up the ballots and walks back outside] 
Mr. Chillyrooster: And folks, it looks like we have a winner. Hillary Clinton has won the California primary, and the Democratic nomination! 
Mr. Pineapple: We did it! [suddenly his arm disappears] GAH! What’s happening?! 
Mr. R’Onion: We altered the past, therefore eradicating the present you and I know from existence. Since the present we come from has ceased to exist, that means we will cease to exist as well. 
Mr. Pineapple: WHAT 
Mr. R’Onion: Indeed. 
Mr. Pineapple: AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! 
Mr. R’Onion: Travis! Calm down! You’re being incredibly unprofessional. There is no pain in non-existence. 
Mr. Pineapple: Spare me with your anti-natalist clap trap, if I’m not around, I can’t blow up civilian buildings! 
Mr. R’Onion: Travis, you will still be around to blow up civilian buildings. Just like I will still be around to commit eco-terrorism! It will just be a different version of ourselves. 
Mr. Pineapple: I am having an existential crisis. 
Mr. R’Onion: Well don’t worry, soon you won’t exist, so you won’t be able to have an existential crisis anymore.
Mr. Pineapple: I’m gonna commit one more act of terrorism before my other arm disappears. 
[He takes out a bomb and throws it at a random building, it promptly exploding. His arm then disappears.] 
Mr. Pineapple: Worth it. 
Mr. R’Onion: According to my calculations, we will both cease to exist in approximately ten seconds. 
Mr. Pineapple: Mr. R’Onion? 
Mr. R’Onion: Yes, Travis? 
Mr. Pineapple: I’m scared. 
[The two then fade from existence and the episode ends.]
