Election Day Once Again

[forsyth]

It's election day here in the fine state of Virginia, and I just voted once again. I guess it's really past time I quit pretending the on the whole "holier than thou" not related to any party thing. The last three elections, I've voted straight for Democrats. Which is, largely, due to the fact the Republican Party as a whole is batshit insane. Promoting and defending incompetents, allowing and covering up torture, lying us into war, and the covering for the President and his cronies? Not to mention the massive corruption. Which still doesn't mean the Democrats really represent me, they're far too conservative for me and unwilling to stand up for any of the simple basic common sense liberal positions. But it's a choice between people who support torture, and people who are too busy worrying about "electability" to speak out against torture. Well.

But for fuck's sake, Democrats, if you want to win elections, you have to actually run candidates. I don't think my local state delegate has EVER had opposition. So I wrote in Mickey Mouse. I shoulda written in Ficus, but there wasn't an organized write-in campaign for Ficus, so it doesn't matter much.
