wait a second

2018-10-20 20:26:40 UTC  

Will it really? Would voting for Mitt Romney or John McCain really change anything? Or just maybe make it seem so in some illusory ways?

2018-10-20 20:27:15 UTC  

Voting yes = less money for corporations = less money for them to lobby for immigration

2018-10-20 20:27:25 UTC  

Romney or McCain? Probably not

2018-10-20 20:27:46 UTC  

Maybe even make it worse

2018-10-20 20:28:40 UTC  

hmmm the initiative is backed by the Latino Community Fund, though

2018-10-20 20:29:31 UTC  

Always follow the money...

2018-10-20 20:29:34 UTC  

holy shit

2018-10-20 20:29:41 UTC  

the initiative exempts the largest polluters

2018-10-20 20:30:56 UTC  

"Six of the state's top 10 carbon admitters would be exempt"

2018-10-20 20:30:59 UTC  

uhhh wut

2018-10-20 20:31:05 UTC  

Voting for the govt to "help" anything...

2018-10-20 20:31:21 UTC  

also, why write "six" as a word but "10" as a number?

2018-10-20 20:31:26 UTC  

it looks stupid

2018-10-20 20:31:34 UTC  

>just don't ~~goys~~ guys

2018-10-20 20:32:21 UTC  

Granted there are some really valid criticisms of republican democracy, but I think we have to engage and play with the paradigm that we've inherited.

2018-10-20 20:33:25 UTC  

lmao

2018-10-20 20:33:37 UTC  

there's an initiative to ban food and beverage taxes

2018-10-20 20:33:40 UTC  

To be clear I'm not saying don't ever vote, or don't vote for a candidate that you actually think will do some good. I'm just saying, if presented with two options that are both garbage, both going to hurt my people and my own interests, but maybe one will do it less - no thanks. When someone decent is on my ballot, hopefully thanks in part to my own efforts, I'll definitely vote for them.

2018-10-20 20:34:02 UTC  

and the "rebuttal" of the argument for the initiative says that it "reduces choice" for local communities

2018-10-20 20:34:09 UTC  

what a retarded argument

2018-10-20 20:34:23 UTC  

if I don't like a certain choice, wouldn't I *want* to "reduce choice"?

2018-10-20 20:37:53 UTC  

wtf

2018-10-20 20:38:21 UTC  

the Republican senate candidate opens her statement with "Our people"

2018-10-20 20:38:32 UTC  

🤔

2018-10-20 20:39:06 UTC  

In 2016 I voted straight Republican except for the House because my congressman was terrible on immigration and anti-Trump

2018-10-20 20:40:21 UTC  

She also managed to include her German and Norwegian ancestry in the statement

2018-10-20 20:40:23 UTC  

this is weird

2018-10-20 20:40:39 UTC  

@Jacob Who is this?

2018-10-20 20:40:48 UTC  

Susan Hutchinson

2018-10-20 20:40:58 UTC  

I think she's fairly moderate Republican

2018-10-20 20:41:13 UTC  

literally opens it with "Our people deserve better"

2018-10-20 20:41:20 UTC  

sounds very identitarian

2018-10-20 20:41:35 UTC  

I guess she has no chance in WA, but I like the rhetoric

2018-10-20 20:42:38 UTC  

The Washington house of representatives was actually majority Republican until very recently

2018-10-20 20:43:18 UTC  

she's down by 14 points lol

2018-10-20 20:43:21 UTC  

ya she's not gonna win

2018-10-20 20:45:05 UTC  

The party in the White House always suffers in the midterms. It's a shame though. National republicans didn't even try to help Barletta in PA and he'd be a great senator

2018-10-20 20:45:06 UTC  

lol one of the state representative candidates brags in his statement about helping pass a bill to ban rental housing discrimination

2018-10-20 20:45:11 UTC  

I know who *not* to vote for

2018-10-20 20:45:25 UTC  

I'm doing a write in for the congressional candidate who didnt make it onto the ballot in my district because they were pro wall and anti sanctuary
