Thanks to @pluralistic, I found this from May of 2016: https://morecrows.wordpress.com/2016/05/10/unnecessariat/ by Ann Amnesia.
Read it all. This part, however, explains why someone might make ballot choices you wouldn't agree with. Read to the end.
Context: Extracted from author's letter to a friend who is a professor. . .
"Lets be honest- Clinton doesn’t give a shit about me. When Clinton talks about people hurt by the economy, she means you: elite-educated white-collar people with obvious career tracks who are having trouble with their bills and their 401k plans. That’s who boomed under the last president Clinton, especially the 401ks. Me, or the three guys fighting two nights ago over the Township mowing contract, we’re nothing. Clinton doesn’t have an economic plan for us. Nobody has an economic plan for us. There is no economic plan for us, ever. We keep driving trucks around and keep the margins above gas money and maybe take an odd job here or there, but essentially, we’re history and nobody seems to mind saying so.
"And let me be honest again- Trump doesn’t have an economic plan for me either. What Trump’s boys have for me is a noose- but that’s the choice I’m facing, a lifetime of grueling poverty, or apocalypse. Yeah I know, not fun and games- the shouts, the smashing glass, the headlights on the lawn, but what am I supposed to do, raise my kid to stay one step ahead of the inspectors and don’t, for the love of god, don’t ever miss a payment on your speeding ticket? A noose is something I know how to fight. A hole in the frame of my car is not. A lifetime of feeling that sense, that “ohhhh, shiiiiiit…” of recognition that another year will go by without any major change in the way of things, little misfortunes upon misfortunes… a lifetime of paying a grand a month to the same financial industry busily padding the 401k plans of cyclists in spandex, who declare a new era of prosperity in America? Who can find clarity, a sense of self, any kind of redemption in that world?
"Fuck it. Give me the fascists, I’ll know where I stand…
"But I went ahead and took a democratic ballot regardless. And voted for Sanders. And as long as chumps like me keep doing that, we’ll keep getting the Clintons we deserve."

@fascism“We tried to warn you that Palestine was a testing ground, that these people don’t give a fuck about democracy. Well, you’re waking up too late and you’re gonna need to figure out how you can fight back. I can’t give you the answers. I can only recommend that you do whatever you can. Soon we are all going to be the resistance, whether we like it or not”

#Midterms #primaries updates #GiftArticle link [you *should* be able to access the link till polls close; I probably won’t stay online updating the results]:
So far…
Rep #AndyBarr, a Republican backed by #Trump, easily won a contested #primary for #Senate in #Kentucky, where he will be strongly favored in November to replace the long-serving Senator #MitchMcConnell, who is retiring.

RE: https://mstdn.social/@DemocracyMattersALot/116602675290602669
Among the reasons that Mango Mussolini endorsed sooo late in the game was the intensity of the cat-fight that is the #Republican #Primary in #texas
There is no good choice, but both candidates have strong support. And performative anger is on-brand for #Maga

I've already #voted (last week during early voting) and I'm really interested to see how the #Georgia #primary turns out. I'm very concerned about the governor's race and really hate the top two candidates who are running on the #Republican ticket. It has been difficult with Kemp running things over the last 8 years and I think these guys are even worse than Kemp.
I don't know if a #Democrat can actually win the state in November, but I am hopeful.

The Hubble Space Telescope was nearly blind for its first three years because its primary mirror was ground too flat by 2.2 micrometers, and NASA’s reputation depended on a 1993 repair mission built around corrective optics the size of a refrigerator

Got the #California #primary #voter guide in the mail. (You can see it online at https://vig.cdn.sos.ca.gov/2026/primary/pdf/complete-vig.pdf)
There are some 60+ candidates for Governor. Some of them, well, the nicest way I can say this is that they would be well served if they sought professional help. Many of the candidate photos are less than flattering.
One candidate, Akinyemi Agbede, has a web site with videos of his workout sessions: https://thenextgovernorofcalifornia2026.net
Others that caught my attention:
* Frederic C. Schultz (page 18)
* Daniel Mercuri (page 22)
* Naomi Bar-Lev (page 22)
* Don J. Grundmann (page 24). Total neo-nazi shit here. So bad that the secretary of state had to add a disclaimer: “The views and opinions expressed by the candidates are their own and do not represent the views and opinions of the Secretary of State’s office”
* LivingForGod AndCountry DeMott (page 28) Once you get past the name, he’s not totally unreasonable. -
