October marks a particularly challenging time in any election cycle, where the stress and emotional toll become overwhelming for political candidates. At this stage, even the strongest individuals may feel like their resolve has crumbled, while the relentless nature of campaigns warps any sense of time. The pressures of the race create an atmosphere of despair that can consume all candidates, regardless of their standing.

As the month progresses, those candidates who initially had allies begin to feel betrayed, realizing that their supposed friends may have been self-serving all along. This sense of disillusionment leads many to fantasize about retribution against those they once trusted. The camaraderie and idealism that fueled their efforts seem lost, leaving them to grapple with only a desire for release and revenge against the political machinations they once embraced.
