Turns out that when you question elections you lose against opponents, you also start questioning elections you lose against allies, and there’s absolutely no bottom to it as long as there is more than one primary candidate. I don’t see how this is sustainable. ---

Yeah, I should’ve gone with my first instinct to put “allies” in quotes. I mean, they’re all _supposed_ to be, as members of the same party, right? I’m kind of at a loss to imagine how this turns out for them. ---

The Internet says it can be First and Final Offer, which makes sense in that context even though I couldn’t find what context it was intended to be in. If you add another A it can stand for F\*\*\* Around And Find Out, which also seems appropriate if he doesn’t accept the offer, but unfortunately, humor-wise, it probably doesn’t mean that here. ---

After reading the article, I’m pretty sure that FAFO in this context means Fuck Around and Find Out. I’ve been seeing that acronym a lot lately, and it’s always written FAFO, never FAAFO that I’ve ever seen.
