>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

@Jacob Who is this?

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?

choi

it's a nonpartisan position, so I can't just pick the Republican

Write in James Allsup

lmao ya I should just write in James Allsup for all the cucky Republicans

God, so many of these people are running unopposed

hence: better candidates: get your guys in

Maybe I'll run for PCO next election

At a local level, all you have to do to get a position is show up

I know for a fact that PCOs are chosen in election
