Fair point

That debate with Hiroyuki was pretty wild. Like the shitposting troll vlogger and literal owner of 4chan running a debate between PM candidates of a world power.

Like can you imagine asmongold running the 2028 presidential debates and feeding the candidates questions from the twitch chat

Still the same fucking LDP though.

While I'm always willing to shit on Japan for repeatedly electing the LDP, this is an internal party election, not a Parliamentary election. The LDP is still the ruling party.
