    Your vote was meaningless? Even in local elections? You sat out the whole thing because of the top of the ticket?

        I the fuck just emigrated to the UK because my gay daughter isn’t safe in the U.S. and I am 47.

        Why does any of that matter?

        Also, I’m not mad.

          yep totally not mad

          normal to be imo but at least be honest with yourself

          as to why it matters, you’re clearly ignorant regarding how bad it really is in the south and I was giving you the benefit of the doubt

            I lived in Indiana, the middle finger of the South.

            Why the fuck do you think we left?

      Unfortunately yeah my vote was pointless and local elections too. I ended up getting a runoff for my city council District, both candidates use pictures of them with Ted Cruz in their advertising. That’ll sober you right the fuck up.

        So the only down ballot election was the one for one city council seat?

        You must have had a tiny, tiny ballot.

          Buddy what kind of down ballot races did you think there where in my area? In an area in which two Maga Republicans who split their vote still won enough of the votes that they were the only two options in the runoff. I want you to think critically about what kind of fucking candidates are running in my area and what kind of vote totals they must have been getting.

            I don’t know… state legislature? Mayor? County council? County clerk? City clerk? At-large council members? Sheriff? Judges?

            I’m sure I can come up with others. Or were they all vote-splitting runoff elections?

                  I lived in Indiana before I emigrated a week and a half ago, but nice try.

                You asked me what kind and I told you. Now you’re criticizing me for it?

                Why did you ask me a question if you didn’t want me to answer it?

                    Yes, I agree. Asking someone a question and then getting pissed that they answered it is a big ‘oof.’
