LOCAL ELECTIONS - What local elections/ballot measures do you want to advise people on?
LANDSLIDE 2020
Permastickied until the election
We think nationally a lot, but let's talk local for a bit!
Rules for this thread are pretty simple. Top-level posts must be structured as such or they'll be deleted:
[STATE]
[COUNTY/CITY/etc (if applicable)]
[Position title. School board, police chief, dog catcher, tax hike, etc.]: -Who is the MAGA candidate(s), or Yes/No to the initiative. Please include an explanation (and link, if possible)
Example:
NORTH DAKOTA
FARGO COUNTY
Police Chief:
-Deputy Dangle. He puts rollerskating hookers away and doesn't afraid of anything
School tax increase
-Vote NO. They're failing our students, churning out rollerskating hookers. They'll use the money for rayciss training anyway.
If you're looking for advice for your state/county, ctrl-F and search for it. If nothing comes up, do some research and advise others!
Massachusetts Question 2 I will vote No
My leftist neighbors have yard signs for Yes. They also have vagina hats.
I am leaning toward yes on 2, but I am not yet decided. I am aware that most of question 2's supporters are odious, but I am generally in favor of instant-runoff style voting systems in order to break the republicrat two-party stranglehold on government. Can someone offer me a solid argument one way or the other based on the law itself?
Q2 would allow a crazy left candidate to have more apparent popularity. Consider this:
Candidate 1: Normal Massachusetts Democrat
Candidate 2: Left-of-Bernie commie anarchist
Candidate 3: Normal Massachusetts Republican
In MA #3 is already disproportionately low compared to #2. So, it allows #2 to potentially gain more votes, where in reality they should never have a chance. The rule cuts both ways, so, think about it, who is backing the money for it?? In MA it's not the GOP...
This is the scenario that keeps me from voting for this next week.
