    1. Violence (Assassination attempt on a candidate)

    2. Natural Disasters

    3. Legal Chicanery (A candidate needs to win to stay out of prison)

    4. International Consequences (Ukraine could be fucked)

    These are very much not boring to watch

      Yeah, occasionally stuff happens that’s fun.

      But:

      1. Assassination attempt was a show
      2. Climate change has been on it’s exponential path for a while, we all knew that
      3. That’s actually fun. Although also sad. And also, how the f is your justice system still on it 4 years later? No, it’s ok, apparently in the middle of EU, in some fukin Austria this sh1t also flies, so no worries.
      4. Yes, but there are like 2 outcomes, nothing changes about them, and it’s all essentially about 5 weirdly shaped districts in 3 swingers states. Imagine you actually had like 10 parties with different coalition options and 2-3% moves would imply different new geopolitical configurations every time.
