@christian_timbe Yes. Agreed. Now, a majority of that chunk of voters didn't vote for Sugoi, so it's hardly likely that they will next year. The issue is convincing them to be pragmatic w.r.t the idealism, given that another cycle of apathy is going to be catastrophic to this country.

@DukeofEmbu92 I'm interested in the 7.9 million people who did not vote. That's a lot of people. And I do believe that it's crazy because voter apathy doesn't just happen, especially in a country like ours, to that extent. If it's numbers people are worried about maybe they should start there

@christian_timbe ...but it worked before at a time when we were at an inflection point in this country. Yes we should be doing different, but the fact is that we do not have the numbers yet. We either make peace with that fact or sit and watch as these fools ride out a second term.

@DukeofEmbu92 Yeah and we've made that gamble multiple times in the ballot and it has backfired badly meaning it's time to do something different, to no longer gamble with opportunities like these. We have to start being sure of people.

@christian_timbe ...Sugoi is banking on, given that he knows that his base is full of functional imbeciles who will support him to the hilt regardless of how far down the pit he drives the country. It's funny, but we have precedence here. This is exactly how Trump got his second term.

@christian_timbe ...at the end of the day, everything will boil down to how many people show up. Sadly so, we don't have enough numbers (yet) in the horde of free thinkers to move the needle in August 27. That's why I am calling for calculated compromise; standing out ground is EXACTLY what...

@christian_timbe ...same set of decisions that we are sadly faced with now. As it stands, we are assured of doom if Sugoi comes back. Linda kosokoso is a straight up gamble, but they have the possibility of stemming the freefall for 5 years as we course correct. That's the reality we must face.

@christian_timbe Now we have common footing. Looking back, Kibaki was a gamble that (largely) paid off. Nigga was surrounded by tribal demagogues par excellence, but Moi had fucked this country up so bad that anything, literally anything was better than the assured alternative. This is the...

@DukeofEmbu92 What we can't afford is contempt and disregard for rule of law. We can't afford our institutions being weak and underfunded at the expense of red bottoms and if we keep recycling the same trash bags in the name of punishing people politically then there becomes no point anymore.

@christian_timbe ...spent a lifetime of conditioning to hate the very idea of "Raira", sentiment that had been passed down to the rural youth. They found it impossible to simply switch gears based on the fact that UK was now drinking with the supposed devil. I maintain; that was a protest vote.

@christian_timbe Naaah. I beg to disagree. The millions of rural folk, especially in My Kenya, who voted for Sugoi were disenfranchised by Joffrey Lannister and his lack of focus on them after the handchieth. Ruto simply capitalized on simmering sentiment. Most of the older folk had also...

@christian_timbe Exactly. Most of those who stayed home (heavily skewed towards younger voters) weren't vibing with either camp hence sat out. Sugoi knows that his only hope next year is a combination of voter suppression and apathy w.r.t those who want him out, so we can't afford to have that.

@DukeofEmbu92 no like I'm saying it's good to know the demographic distribution of those registered voters who stayed at home to know why they didn't vote. And as one of them, I don't speak for anyone but I can say it is because I knew my vote wouldn't have counted.

@christian_timbe ...THRICE in 10 years. Last elections had half of those who voted for Sugoi making protest votes at alleged "abandonment" by Ichaweri, and the other half voted for "their son". The hustler-wheelbarrow nonsense was just a smokescreen.

@christian_timbe I'm talking AGGREGATE numbers. More people didn't vote for either candidate than those who voted for either. That's because people who weren't fucking with either candidate CHOSE to sit out, something that suited Sugoi. Also...no. Those same "hustlers" voted for peak dynasty...

@SirAlexas Sunday was always a shitty idea. His TA are mostly millennials who have jobs on Monday and need to rest. That's why the Saturday show sold out months in advance. Maybe he finally read the room.

Lynn, I actually concur. Fully. Ideally we would all be rallying behind a concrete vision beyond AUG '27. This may yet materialize. However, we are waging war in murky waters. In the here and now, the important bit is Sugoi must GO. We can figure the rest out with him oustered.

Let’s address the elephant in the room because I feel like many people don’t want to have this conversation😳 So the plan is to vote for Sifuna simply because he can help get Ruto out? As long as Ruto is gone, then we’re good? Haven’t we been here before? Isn’t that exactly how Ruto benefited from the anger against Uhuru&Raila ? And before that, wasn’t Uhuru’s victory also driven in part by a wave of sympathy over the ICC cases and the feeling among many supporters that it was time to stand with him and push back against those they believed were targeting him? Look at how Uhuru’s administration left this country? Haven’t we already seen where voting out of anger or emotion, instead of demanding better leadership, leaves this country? The next election cannot just be about who is most likely to defeat Ruto. It has to be about who has a clear plan to deal with corruption, protect the Constitution, end abductions and extrajudicial killings, fix our broken healthcare system, reform education, create jobs, reduce the cost of living, tackle public debt, restore independent institutions and ensure there is real accountability in government. I understand the thinking. The common enemy is Ruto, and the enemy of my enemy quickly becomes a friend. But I refuse to believe that after everything this country has been through, Kenyans are ready to settle for people with serious questions hanging over them simply because they are the fastest route to removing one man from power. A perfect example, Aisha Jumwa😂 We cannot keep voting against someone. At some point, we have to start voting for something. Otherwise, we’ll keep changing faces while the system that keeps failing Kenyans remains exactly the same.

@miss_mumbzk One set of choices has a guaranteed outcome while the other is a coin flip. I don't like it as much as the next sane person, but what I'm saying is we are increasingly getting to that point at which we will have to make that choice. ...same choice that voters in '02 faced.

@miss_mumbzk I hear you, but you missed my point. We are hurtling headfirst into a conundrum that will most likely call on us to make calculated gambles. We can either get him out and roll the dice or risk voter apathy, something he is banking on, and live through a DEFINITE Armageddon.

This isn’t true. To say this is to imagine that Ruto is the only one capable of what he has wrought or to imagine that he produced this political economy alone — which is of course ahistorical and incorrect. Once politicians enter power, we have no demonstrable way to remove them or hold them accountable. “We’ll sort the rest out later” only works if politicians listen to people once they enter power. When has that ever happened? People said the same thing about Moi and then……2007/08 happened. So 🤷🏽‍♀️
