(9,996 posts)It ALL starts with these local seats. All these tea party fuckers, every LAST ONE of them started at the LOCAL level.
And we know for a FACT that the only way they think they can win elections is if WE stay home or, now, the sneaky fuckers here in the Winston-Salem area, for example, are banking on uninformed voters who fall for catchy campaign phrases and THINK they are voting for folks who have some sense.
Bottom line, DO NOT VOTE "for the individual" in partisan elections EVER AGAIN!!!
Wanda Sue Lou Whozeewhutzit (who just happens to be a Republican on paper) may be just lovely to work with down at the Pack -n- Sack, and a real sweet heart in church, but you should never vote for her if you don't know where she stands on the issues. Edit to add: And if she won't SAY where she stands on the issues, THAT'S a TELL. Red flag. Big time.
Simply voting for someone in a local election just because they sold you Avon that one time, and they were really sweet don't cut it anymore, folks.
In partisan elections, Always. Vote. Straight. Party. Line.
ALWAYS.
