2020 NZ general election
They should invent an election where the candidate you like comfortably cruises to victory and you don’t have to wonder if everyone else is dumb enough to make bad choices

crazy to me that some people consider the waffles-posting on bsky more annoying than getting called a dozen racial slurs you havent even heard of, as seems to be the case on twitter

While I'm on this I find it very weird everyone's discussing these "tricks" they think Trump might use to run for a third term. I don't think he will, but if Trump decides to run for a third term here's how he'll do it: he'll announce he's running for a third term and Republicans will let him.

local election voting closing at 12 midday is insane

considering general election voting closes 7 hours later and its not nearly advertised enough, most people probably assume its the same - wonder how many people rocked up to drop off a ballot or special vote only to be told it had closed
