Elections matter! Hold your nose and vote Democrat at the Federal level. Vote third party at the local level if they are sane.
The only way nothings will change is if we at least hold the line at the top and drive change at the lower levels.
It sucks to be a centrist like myself sometimes who holds very strong opinions about important issues from both left and right. Truly a "how exactly do I want my gov't to screw this country" situation because no matter which party gets elected they focus on the exact opposite of the issues I want them to focus on. One of the few things I appreciated Trump for, came through for me in ways that help others, but very much screwed me over personally here. I hope the sometimes-crazy activists for the GOP-led issue or two I do care about that the Court ruled in favor of are incredibly appreciative and maybe will take some of the massive donations they get to help poor college grads like me pay off the predatory loans they just pushed the Court to keep in place for the sake of their own pet issues.
What Trump views do you agree with?
That Ivanka is attractive (personality and morals aside)
