    I don’t really vote at the federal level anyway I focus on state and local elections that have more impact on my life. As a christian I don’t feel confident in my ability to answer to god why I picked a certain candidate at that level which is another reason I favor more localized government so politicians are humans in the community again.

        Most people want an explanation when I say I don’t vote at the federal level so I kind of get defensive with it. State empowerment movements are growing like crazy it’s a lot easier to admit this in real life than it was even a decade ago.

          If you don’t vote federally why do you care about Pelosi and Biden?

          It seems hypocritical.

              ‘Etc’ is used to continue a list of like things and you can’t can’t do that with one item in a list.

                  Which besides your paycheck is… what exactly? Or are these hypothetical streams of income once you get out of the “temporarily embarrassed millionaire” hole you’re in.
