the beginning of the end must be nearing as i received yet another five mailings over the u.s. house seat being vacated by pete...it is a mishmash of interests and, frankly i don't think mine have anything much to do with the entire business...they have a variety of return addresses...seattle, denver, whoretown, and a couple are local...and, unsurprisingly, given the area, they all have union bugs...beyond that it gets a bit murky as to what's going on...a couple of them are "paid for" by the candidates' local election committees...the others are from vaguely named entities like the "voter protection project" ( protection from what? objective information? ) ...or "democratic progress" ( progress for democracy or democrats? ) and the "bold pac" which sounds like dark money to me...and all for democratic candidates...one wonders if there is some ignored republican actually trying for this...there must be...but i can't think of anyone who knows who that might be...
some weird stuff here...mara reardon calls mcdermott a "former republican"...nasty stuff around here...and old tom may indeed have opposed trumpy's impeachment...lots of folks did for whatever reason they may have found...i wasn't opposed however there was never a time when i though the senate could possibly convict...the point is tom wasn't in any more of a position to do anything about it than i was...it was an opinion...right or wrong ( and that is utterly subjective ) he has a right to one...
"proven leadership" "proven progressive" "results" and a "plan" for more...bitter experience has me questioning exactly who we are leading and planning for here...reasonably sure that if my interests don't happen to align with those of their handlers they aren't going to receive too much consideration...at least not after november...and i see my former union has endorsed on of the candidates...that isn't really a favorable thing in my estimation...i was part of that organization for more than three decades and got to see its leadership in action...again, my interests there were secondary to the leadership's...so i have another six day to wade through this dreck and come to some sort of a decision and then vote...it is not getting easier to do so...the one thing that keeps me at it is knowing they don't really want me to ...they'd rather have a small, predictable turnout...which it would be if pete were running...he's not...they are..and, as usual, it's a negative choice.
