    Unfortunately yeah my vote was pointless and local elections too. I ended up getting a runoff for my city council District, both candidates use pictures of them with Ted Cruz in their advertising. That’ll sober you right the fuck up.

      So the only down ballot election was the one for one city council seat?

      You must have had a tiny, tiny ballot.

        Buddy what kind of down ballot races did you think there where in my area? In an area in which two Maga Republicans who split their vote still won enough of the votes that they were the only two options in the runoff. I want you to think critically about what kind of fucking candidates are running in my area and what kind of vote totals they must have been getting.

          I don’t know… state legislature? Mayor? County council? County clerk? City clerk? At-large council members? Sheriff? Judges?

          I’m sure I can come up with others. Or were they all vote-splitting runoff elections?

                    I can see you know nothing about Indiana, like the fact that the whole state was run by the KKK for decades. Or the fact that the KKK was literally started there. Or the fact that it is not in any way unusual to see a business called Kathy’s Kountry Kitchen even today.

                    But sure, I’ve never encountered any of the bigotry they have in the South, just the intense bigotry in Indiana, which is exactly the same.

                    In fact, worse. Because my friends in an interracial relationship get a lot less shit now that they live in Atlanta.

              You asked me what kind and I told you. Now you’re criticizing me for it?

              Why did you ask me a question if you didn’t want me to answer it?
