Look, I get it: you wasted all this money on me, but ultimately I don't want you like that. Oddly, I don't feel the same way about Chloe: I spent the money on the cause, and pissing her off was part of my plan. See, I didn't believe you when you said she liked me, and figured that was like a carrot. I figured a real woman would want to see what I'm really like, rather than just the image. And I'm highly complicated. Being asexual is a strange place: Ethan thought my twin was a grey ace, but people figured I was a homo. Which is wrong. I'm not opposed to it, but it's not my thing, and I hate it that people think that. I'm all about the brains, which is why I can admire people from afar without walking up to talk to them. - I really don't know Tam well enough to make an opinion about her: I think she's good at her job, though, and that's why I voted for her. Plus she was the Māori candidate, so it was really a no-brainer. I'd indicated that I was planning to do so ages before the election, which is why those phone calls irritated me. I doubt the Avocado sketch would have been so mean if you guys hadn't called me and ensured that I was voting in her electorate. - It's a duller ache, but I still feel like Chloe failed me in 2020. That never went away, but that feeling is mutual. It'd be fair to say that we grew the weed vote from the late 30's to almost 50 percent between us, but tactically we disagree on what went wrong. My focus was the no people, while she was mobilising the inherent yes vote. 👍

Why won't I help people?

Because they're treating me as a disposable freak that they need to use to get rich. Bluntly, that money should be mine. If we're talking Beatles, it's simple: My script was better. My demos were ee

For the record: yes, I was planning to vote for Greg O'Connor if I was in Johsonville. I'm not a moron: I know what goes on behind closed doors in the National Caucus -- that's the benefit of my expensive education. ⚧️🏳️‍⚧️ Yes, for the blue gays: I support you on some of the financial concerns, but yes I'm virulently anti-pride and the old-school gays agree: it's not helping unity. It's a celebration of sexuality, which is fine, but not for the gender-diverse community: we're not your tchotchkes and Auckland gays get that, at least. 😊

Dave used to sit on the board for Pride, but he also defected from Labour to Te Pāti Māori (probably thanks to me). 🔥
