By The Wasted Onion: I Am Pleased To Announce The Kiwi-Late Administration Endorses Count Binface For Wasteof President
Hello wasteof users, for it is I, EngineerRunner. The Kiwi-Late administration has been busy contemplating who would be the best fit to replace us as the election draws to a close. It's been a long and arduous process, but alas we have arrived at a decision. As your Secretary of Propaganda, I am pleased to do my job for the first time and announce that the Kiwi-Late administration is officially endorsing Count Binface, the leader of the Recyclons from the planet Sigma IX, for wasteof president.

By The Wasted Onion: Thrat Assassinated TallPeter Last Year So We'd Have A Better Chance Of Winning This Year
Hello, my fellow wasteof.money users. As many of you know, I am running in this year's presidential election. I've already shared how I plan to make wasteof even better, such as finishing wasteof4, starting wasteof5, and wearing former President Kiwi's skin. Now, of course I believe my opponent, Thrat, is not a suitable candidate, but even they have one thing that bodes well for them in my view: the fact they assassinated 2025 presidential candidate TallPeter, thereby giving all of us a much better chance of winning this year.

By The Wasted Onion: I Took A Bribe To Commit Murder, But Owl And Juni Are Even More Unfit For Office
Hi guys! It is me, presidential nominee Thrat! I would firstly like to thank all of my loyal voters[?], who are ensuring a bright and prosperous wasteof.money [EDITOR'S NOTE: Bold of you to assume wasteof was ever bright or prosperous]. My rant’s primary service is not to serve as political propaganda [EDITOR'S NOTE: Keep telling yourself that, pal] so that more people vote for me (although I’d love that, thank you!), but as a stern warning to my fellow wasteof.money users about the dangers of electing someone like Owl or Juni.
