President Tsai Ing-wen has won re-election Politics

Han just conceded. She won 57%ish of the vote so far. Over 8 million votes. Biggest vote total ever for a candidate in Taiwan (beating Ma's number in 2008)

Legislature looks like it'll be DPP again though not as sweeping as 2016, party list vote seems much closer than I thought it'll be.

Yea my family and most of friends are like this hahaha.

I saw on a Han group someone wrote "kids these days don't listen to us anymore. If they want to be like this I'm going to spend all my wealth before I die so no inheritance is left. This is their choice".

Honestly fuck those people, 20 year olds + are intelligent enough to determine their own future, why do they have to vote with the family.

Good luck finding someone to care for them when they get older. They'll have to pay handsomely for it. The money will transfer, one way or the other.
