...Unless I hear very good word of mouth about a specific candidate.
I just decided "You know what? Fuck em'." to basically the whole party and will now only vote for 3rd party candidates and on measures and whatnot.
If there's a position with only people with D's and R's next to their names running for it, I'm leaving it blank.
I know I'm just one guy, and as such it won't really change anything, but it's nice to be honest with myself at least.
There are a significant number of working class libs. They don't exhibit the r/politics brand of pathology, but liberalism is the default ideology in this country. It is what our public education system spends twelve years pounding into our skulls, then what the mass media spends the rest of our lives reinforcing. No one is advocating getting Bret Stephens on our side.
