Election porn: Now with two-fers!
The Mrs. asked me last night, "Shouldn't we vote?" I replied, "Of course, but not yet. I don't want to miss out on all the election porn."
Because it's getting more entertaining by the day. As the entire Portland City Council is up for election in the daffy "rank choice" voting party, we're now getting two candidates on the same mailer – double penetration, as it were:

Boy! Howdy! Am I glad I live in unincorporated WashCo! Our ballot was 1.5 pages. The Voters Pamphlet was like 200pages! Since there are 4 of us here that share the same Voters Pamphlet, I had to go through it and mark the 30 or so pages that applied to us. The rest of it was a waste of perfectly good trees. Thanks, Portland.

Agreed. I'm no on all the ballot measures, state or local, this time around.

ReplyDeleteAnyone who sends a mailer with the logos of the public employee unions--famous for "We elect our bosses"--should be sent to the circular file forthwith. Ditto the various "more for our race, less for yours" nonprofits. Ditto anyone endorsed by any of the town's dinosaur media; you gonna let Bottomly and Zusman do your thinking for you? And--for sure--any candidate who voted for the RCV mess or were on the charter commission.
ReplyDeleteHave I left anyone out?
But who's left that you can vote for?
