Voting for my first republican.
Since I was a college freshman and had one fool me into thinking she was a liberal. While she was not as bad as other republicans, a Democrat would have been better if one had ran. It was her versus another republican that was worse.
Which brings me to my current quandary. Our election has a youngish teabag republican that looks well funded versus a Chamber of Commerce republican incumbent who also looks well funded. I plan to vote for the CofC guy because his platform sounds a lot less crazy and he already serves on what looks like a moderate group mostly.
To use a term from the show Law & Order, my not voting at all shows a mindset of depraved indifference. No way do I want the teabagger to win. He has ran before and does not hold office. There are around 25% more republicans in my county, but I can't count on sane republicans after Trump.
One bummer is the firefighting Union seems to be squarely behind the teabagger, even out campaigning for him in some of their gear. This brings up whether we as progressives should even support firefighting and cop unions, everyone that I have seen is rightwing, they don't vote for things that we feel are important.
