Thanks! Yeah, I do believe at least on the surface Taiwan is supposed to be strictly paper ballots and single day elections, but who knows if there are "exceptions". Also, although my family trusts DPP, I generally don't trust any party and any one anymore. As the name implies, DPP is the "progressive" party and the party that pushes for diversity and inclusion mostly in the LGBT aspects for now, and we know what happens to tolerant countries.

The Kuomingtan (KMT; Chinese Nationalist Party) opposing DPP doesn't seem the lesser of two evils. Depending on whose holding the strings, KMT and DPP are probably just two sides of the same coin having their forever-fight with each other similar to (probably structured after) the two-party system here. The KMT were basically the people who fled China and took over the island of Taiwan and put Taiwan under martial control for decades. After decades of indoctrination of "taking back the homeland," KMT is now the pro-China party... The last decade was huge for DPP gaining ground in Taiwan, but then this midterm loss happened.

I think apathy affects some people and fear of war with China affects other people. All men (with medical exceptions) are conscripted... Like you said, maybe people just don't think the vote matters anymore. With low birthrate, the younger generations probably feel they can't compete with votes against the higher number of old people...

I am definitely trying to help with the information side of this war (and have made headway about medical tyranny and big data gathering devices like Alexa within my Asian family and work circle), but turn the war kinetic in Taiwan and I won't really have anything I can do...

Thanks for keeping me in your thoughts! It's very appreciated. The great awakening and the struggle are worldwide indeed!
