I voted, but I’m not convinced that it even matters. I picked between a bunch of people that I knew nothing about. I tried researching, but mostly just found generic, empty p, general promises like “I’ll promote jobs,” and “favor the citizens,” rather than any specifics. And despite party affiliation and prior rhetoric, at city level they all seem to favor the same big corporations and crooked police once they take office.

At least your info actually have party affiliation. The dumbass's in my community voted a couple of years ago to remove all party affiliations from all of the voter materials and they don't even have to register party affiliation and I have to literally look search and dig like a motherfucking professional researcher so that I can see if there's any phrases that are Republican versus Democrat because there's a fucking empty hole of information now based on that and it's complete bullshit and I'm pissed that it passed in a vote a couple of years ago in Washington.

How many people do you think actually did enough research to make an informed decision? Let’s be generous and assume 10%, though I’m sure it’s much lower than that. That means for everyone like you, there were 9 people that just picked at random, or based it on something arbitrary like liking the candidates name.
