I don’t even know where to begin with some of the quotes in this article, good or bad.
The topic of politics can be aggausting, but I wonder if there isn’t merit to this idea?
If we’ll have republican local reps regardless based on trends, should people jump party and vote for more moderate candidates, if any exist?
Even if you know your candidate isn’t likely to win, do you vote them on principle to vote metrics and data, or do you vote for the lesser evil opponent, even if you feel dirty for it?
I’m not taking or endorsing a side or suggesting anyone should, just curious. Pretend it’s the opposite parties than Indiana if it helps thinking through it.
Personally, I am also convinced there’s unlikely to be a flip of Indiana from red to blue (unless something changes), so I have to consider which red I want, or dislike the least.
I haven’t researched the new likely front runner yet. I’ve only seen comments here, which likely won’t favor him, but I might not either after I consider his record and stances, IDK.
Rock and a hard place?
Good luck finding a lesser evil to anyone wanting to do this, last time I looked into doing it (don’t remember which year exactly, 2022 maybe?) all the candidates seemed to be equally awful and repugnant.
The only reason I would have bothered is if Rokita had also thrown his hat in the ring, only because Rokita would have been even worse than everyone running right now.
I assume he’s going to try next time the seat is available.
I’ll never vote for any of these assholes.
