After an incredibly competitive 2022 Woke All-Star Challenge Sweet 16 including an all-out war between Mark Jones and Maria Taylor that nearly came down to a recount scenario, we’re moving on to the Elite 8. This is when we find out who wants that all-important trip to the Identity Politics Final Four® where one woke’s dream of winning it all will come true.
The rules are simple: We provide Twitter voting or anti-social media voting for 24 hours and you, the voting public, does the rest. Use your votes wisely. This is where things get serious.
Happy voting!

Eight absolute losers here, but there can only be one “winner”.
Thanks for giving us a voting option other than Twatter.
Ditto on the Twitter avoidance.
Florio vs Olberman was difficult. I ended up choosing Florio because Olberman is insane, which helps explain his uber-wokeness. Not sure what Floria’s excuse is; perhaps too much exposure to the Simms family?
Yep
I predict a Mark Jones-Keith Olbermann final!
I voted but I still didn’t understand how pat forde, who needs to be walking around in a “worlds worst dad” t shirt, didn’t make it to the elite 8. Just shows how truly formidable this competition is
