la mayor race polls just dropped and people are losing their minds, but like, in the most predictable way possible.
So, AITA for laughing at the fact that la mayor race polls show a literal potted plant is polling at 5% while the actual human candidates are throwing millions at attack ads? TL;DR: Democracy is a circus and I’m just here for the free popcorn.
Apparently, the latest survey asked 2,000 people who they’d vote for, and 12% said “literally anyone else” while 8% confidently chose a guy who got arrested for jaywalking in 1998. Peak voter engagement, am I right?
Politicians are now scrambling to endorse the plant, calling it “a symbol of growth” (insert dramatic eyeroll). Meanwhile, the incumbent is tweeting about how the polls are rigged, but his campaign manager accidentally liked a post about canceling the election for “vibes.”
I dunno man, but if la mayor race polls are this unhinged, I’m starting a write-in campaign for my cat. He’s never held office, but he’s also never started a war, so… progressive choice?
