All signs point to Frank being an idiot. I don't see him masterminding anything.

Well you know, in the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king. Frank is at least intelligent enough to make sure John doesn't break any federal laws while campaigning, and he is... socially conscious enough to use his connections to get coverage. He's not some sort of renegade genius but of the two Wus he's definitely the brains of the operation.

I'm not so sure about that. Federal campaign law is a minefield and horrifyingly easy to run afoul of. John's saving grace is that he likely won't have any political enemies motivated enough to snag him on anything unless he manages something truly egregious.

Does that mean John's the beauty? Shudder, shudder, shudder.

Yup, and here's that transphobic mainstream media literally raping and murdering yet again.

They could probably hire someone to do the FEC paperwork. Getting the 2,000 signatures from people in the district just to get on the ballot is another story. It's why I don't think there is a chance in hell Wu is ever on a ballot come that primary.

It's actually not that hard to get the signatures, when I was a pledge in my fraternity, we had a former brother from like 20 years earlier that ran for the house and knowing he could get cheap labor off of the pledges he came knocking on our door and he made some offer to the fraternity that if we helped him out for 6 straight weekends, he would make a lump sum donation to our pledge class for our initiation party to the house from his campaign funds. So the first weekend we got sent to local neighborhoods in his district which was like 90 minutes from campus and we would spend that Saturday just walking door to door collecting signatures, I think we had like 7 or 8 groups of 2 and each of us would just take one side of the street and walk door to door getting signatures for him. It only took us about 6 hours to get the amount needed. When you go door to door like that, people just want to get rid of you ASAP so most the time they'll listen for about 30 seconds, sigh and roll their eyes and just sign it. It's not an endorsement or a sign that they'll vote for them, it's basically just allowing another person to have a shot at running. The rest of the weekends usually involved minor rallies or family fun events we had to help set up and break down after they were done. It sucked to give up those weekends, most of us would party until 2-3 AM and then have to be up at like 7 to drive out to his district hungover as fuck but he did make the donation he promised which was good but he got absolutely destroyed in the primary, I think it was like the 2nd widest margin of victory for his opponent in state history.
