Too much of a good thing

Familiarity can breed contempt when you see people too often.

- MARC WILSON

If you want to feel good about our politics, I hope you've been keeping up with what's happening in America. Do they have a Speaker yet? My favourite American liberal podcast host made a point that's stuck with me - arguing that the best thing for Democrats is for media networks to "platform" Trump because his own crazy words are the best argument for voting for someone else.

This got me thinking, in the context of our own post-election comedown - are you sick of David Seymour yet? Christopher Luxon and Winston Peters? Before you damn me as a lefty-hand wringer, I come not to bury them, but rather to speculate about the risks of pre- and post-election exposure.
