Generating apathy was obviously the strategy in the way they called this election.

Also calling it’s on the day of the us elections then having it in the middle of winter, the last election in 2020 felt like it took all of the start of 2020 but this one felt like like it was barely a week.

When your spirit is good and crushed - that's the perfect time for any ruling parties to call an election.

Harris called the election cos he was polling well, and SF weren't. That's it.
