surely yay - i'm probably more lib on voting than half the site (I don't outright refuse because 's system has the veneer of being more representative and i'm not directly blocked from voting for socialists), but i mean, if you're there why wouldn't you?
I feel like America's system is inherently designed to make local more powerful in the day-to-day then federal, so you may as well either find a leftist somewhere on the downballot stuff or at least fuck over some ghouls/spill the positions of existing judges or whatever.
just don't hold any belief that you're immediately making a difference. every single bit of that ballot from top to bottom is trimming around the edges and we have to do the work elsewhere, but if you actually lined up for just the top choice, you're already a lib anyway and you may as well do the rest for a laugh
