Turn on, tune in, drop out.

Find the best candidates running by doing exhaustive research, then, if they meet a minimum standard, vote for them. If no candidate in a given race meets the minimum, abstain on that race. I'll vote in the Democratic Party primary even though I'm not a Democrat just because that's the de facto election for most offices here in Chicago.

I know in advance that most of the candidates I support in the primary won't be in the general and most of the candidates I vote for in the general won't win, and most of the candidates who I most want to keep out of office (because they're corrupt) are running unopposed (because they're corrupt). I know this but I'm still going to vote anyway, and encourage everyone else to vote as well, because that's the only hope we have for improvement.

Same as every election the last decade. (Before I got married I never voted in the primary out of principle, but my spouse convinced me that was silly.)

The last time I was actually idealistic about an election was 2004. 2004 showed me the harsh realities of contemporary politics all too clearly.

Thinking about buying a gun and starting training so I'm not behind when the shit inevitably hits the fan.

Don't vote, and whoever tries to shame me can go climb a tree

Fuck everyone in the US Government except Rashida Motherfucking Tlaib.

I’m going to write in Rashida Tlaib. It’s all bullshit. What is happening right now proves it. Even fucking Bernie Sanders sounds like a Warhawk right now.

Ps. You’re all a bunch of lesser evil voting shitlibs. Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is the definition of insanity.

What did your harm reduction get us when we put Biden in office:

• genocide with our tax money
• cop city
• stoking the Cold War and enthusiastically sending our tax money to interfere in another country’s business BECAUSE IT’S WHITE PEOPLE to enrich the Military Industrial Complex rather than helping US citizens
• overturned Roe vs. Wade
• no marijuana legalization (mark my words: until the primaries or GE next year when it will help Biden in the election)
• Medicare for those who can afford it
• austerity
• austerity
• more austerity

I like Ike.

Jimmy Dore is moderating a presidental debate, I will watch that. Some info here, freeandequal.org

Same as usual. Vote for the individuals that seem like they are the best person for whatever position I am voting on at that point in time.

Historically, I haven’t cared about what party they were affiliated with, however I suspect it’s going to be a good long while before I vote for a Republican again.
