I’m able to vote PSL where I live, so obviously I’m voting for them, but other than that I’m thinking of leaving the ballot mostly blank except for some amendments I like. There’s like one Berniecrat-sounding guy running for state legislature I might vote for, but it seems like every damn local politician is some flavor of conservative around here. What do you think?
For me there was one candidate who challenged our shitty anti-homeless city councilman who was pretty dope and progressive. She actually is a long time homeless advocate and lawyer and also did pro bono work for arrested pro-palenstine protestors. And she is openly bi and poly
Also state provisions can matter, even if they arent perfect or are marginally good. In CA there is a proposition to legalize gay marriage in the state constitution (in case Oberfell gets overturned) as well as rent control and abolishing unpaid prisoner labor.
There might be smaller scale elections like school board that have some wacky anti trans or anti vax single issue candidate that is worth defeating.
But also I advocate for people to just not vote if they dont want to. Im just a nerd for filling in bubbles and knowing that i made a number go up by 1
!!! this is a type of nerd?!? MY PEOPLE
haven’t had to take a standardized test in a very long time, and I miss the bubbles so much. I love trying to make them a perfectly uniform, perfectly shiny, perfectly circular little dot of graphite.
I bet I could probably find some of the little scantron answer pages online just to fill in for fun 🤔
Bro when i took my first standardized test in like 2nd grade the first thing i told my parents is how much fun it was to fill in the bubbles
Omg me too! Ngl the part that I felt the best about when filling out my ballot was not the votes themselves but filling in those little ovals and making them perfect.
