You are quite right, of course. I am looking at it through the lens of someone who votes in such a red district that a significant number of local seats are going to the GOP unopposed.
Had someone from Dems Abroad on the phone today urging me to participate in the Dem primary for my voting district. There is literally not a single race where there is more than one Dem is currently running (and a number with zero). I will be there in November, for sure, and I admire the folks who are willing to run, all of whom will get my vote, sight unseen.
You remember the stuff about Antrim County and the voter fraud stuff? Right next door… Michigan Militia? Right next door. The kid who shot up classmates after his folks gave him a gun? Right down the road from where I used to live in the Detroit area…
Generally I am always optimistic and always believe that things will turn out for the better. Right now, stuff is getting to me, so I think I have to take a break.
