OTW Elections PSA

[extrapenguin]

Candidate Audrey R. ran for office as a Republican in 2022 (less than a calendar year ago) and also opposes sending weapons to Ukraine:

Given that she has talked up the political experience she got hobnobbing with fascists and bookburners in her OTW election materials, I would not suggest voting for her.

Wow. Thanks for the heads-up!

My eyebrows rose up to my hairline when I googled her name and that came up. "Yikes" doesn't begin to cover it.

[china_shop]

Yikes! Thanks for that.

[extrapenguin]

Yeah... Feel free to spread the PSA.

My days of 'what the fuck is going on at the OTW' are certainly coming to a middle, oh my gods. (ETA: I do have to admit this specific thing would not have been on my bingo card but also What Is Going On Over There)

[extrapenguin]

IKR? It's a shitshow that keeps on shitting. And yeah, when I read Audrey's original profile, I too would not in a million years have guessed that she'd run as a Republican.

Thank you for letting us know! Where was this bit of info uncovered, by the way?

(Just asking because she didn't run with her full wallet name. It's obviously her.)

[extrapenguin]

They're all actually running under their full wallet names, which are listed on the test ballot that the OTW sent. I personally googled Audrey's name (along with all the others') and got the results listed here.

[anotherslashfan]

Ahh yes, I hadn't gotten around to reading the email the OTW sent out, that makes sense. Now I feel stupid, ahahah

This OTW election season is sure full of plot twists...

Thank you for the info!

[extrapenguin]

Everything keeps happening so much! I honestly thought we'd run out of plot twists by now, and yet.

[kore]

Thank you so much for googling that, since OTW didn't see fit to disclose that information! Damn.

[extrapenguin]

I gave a quick google just in case one of them had done something disqualifying RL. I did not actually expect to find anyhting.

[mekare]

Thank you for the heads up!

[extrapenguin]

She appears to have withdrawn her candidacy now, so the thing has become a moot point. Still, YIKES.
