hmmm the initiative is backed by the Latino Community Fund, though
Always follow the money...
holy shit
the initiative exempts the largest polluters
"Six of the state's top 10 carbon admitters would be exempt"
uhhh wut
Voting for the govt to "help" anything...
also, why write "six" as a word but "10" as a number?
it looks stupid
>just don't ~~goys~~ guys
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.
lmao
there's an initiative to ban food and beverage taxes
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.
and the "rebuttal" of the argument for the initiative says that it "reduces choice" for local communities
what a retarded argument
if I don't like a certain choice, wouldn't I *want* to "reduce choice"?
wtf
the Republican senate candidate opens her statement with "Our people"
🤔
In 2016 I voted straight Republican except for the House because my congressman was terrible on immigration and anti-Trump
She also managed to include her German and Norwegian ancestry in the statement
this is weird
Susan Hutchinson
I think she's fairly moderate Republican
literally opens it with "Our people deserve better"
sounds very identitarian
I guess she has no chance in WA, but I like the rhetoric
The Washington house of representatives was actually majority Republican until very recently
she's down by 14 points lol
ya she's not gonna win
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
lol one of the state representative candidates brags in his statement about helping pass a bill to ban rental housing discrimination
I know who *not* to vote for
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
I don't have time to research all these obscure state representative candidates
probably just gonna go down the line Republican
Just got another guy to apply, got confirmation while lifting. Peak IE
if you want better candidates you have 2 choices: (1) youre the better candidate (2) someone you know is. only way that happens is by joining your local GOP & putting in qualitative time
Who sounds better, Nathan Choi or Steve Gonzalez?
