I like direct democracy in the form of ballot measures so I vote for any of those which increase taxes, fund services, or represent biocentrism.
Local officials have a lot of impact so I vote for things on a city and state level. I don’t vote in any single-candidate elections and wrote in my dog for mayor this year. He lost.
For the federal government and in general, I don’t believe in vOtE bLuE nO mAtTeR wHo. After seeing Obama’s presidency, a candidate earns my vote through specific policies and ideological leanings or they don’t. I wrote in Bernie in 2016 and voted PSL in 2020. If the democrats give me a generic liberal, I’m not wasting ink on a judas goat. In 2020 Bernie’s capitulation to Biden was such a moral insult that I’m no longer tolerating the milquetoast progressive option either. They need org endorsement from at least the DSA or a professional history and background that represents working class interests. Any compromise candidate will just be tomorrow’s Kirsten Sinema or John Fetterman so I don’t want blood on my hands for endorsing them.
