to clarify something here to anyone - the local elections are really fun cause I can go into it without knowing much about the candidates and do research. In a presidential election where the two candidates have already run and you constantly see them and you don’t really care for their politics but you have no say in them being there and have to chose regardless because people will back party lines, it’s just frustrating. At least if I don’t agree as much with the politics of a local candidate, I know he or she is at least from my area and will work for what I need here, or also that I can just pick the less radical one and know that their ideals will possibly be similar enough to what I want (or anyone in the area wants) in the end. I can’t have that same connection with 80 year old men that are being pushed into office by their party in a war against the other side, and aren’t really there to serve.

I get fooled by the false promises of someone from my state or county better I guess is what I’m trying to say lol
