Ooh, I wish I could give that more than one “like”. Glad to hear NJ is looking left.
In Delaware, we have over 200 years of entrenched political corruption, sometimes with members of both major parties literally collaborating and coordinating their slates of candidates to prevent actual voter choice. But because we are nestled between PA, NJ, and MD - we look good by comparison! At least we don’t have drug-addled supreme court justices attempting to run over state senators with cars, or urban mayors hiring firebugs to collect insurance on city properties… our corruption is tame compared to our neighbors.
“Not gonna. The “most qualified establishment candidate in generations” has to earn my vote. The race is between a moderate East-Coast Republican posing as a Democrat, and Marmot Head Hitler, and I’m supposed to vote for the Republican because I’m shit scared of the fascist, and because I’m supposed to be pissed at Nader from 2000.* Sorry, that’s not gonna cut it.”
I just love reading the people who respond to this post (i.e. having read only the headline) with lengthy, anguished explanations of why Gary Johnson is terrible. Twitter, too.
I voted for him in 2012. Out of the three of them (dismissing Jill Stein) I want “Not Trump” to win. In 2012 I didn’t give a rats as who won. The whole “wasting your vote” bit … not a fan. But for people in states where the vote is close, it’s hard to see a vote for Gary as being much different than saying “I’m good with Trump or Clinton – whichever is fine”.
