I think one of the things that just has me tired with listening to all the bs around this election season is the number of people who say “i just dont like [insert person up for office]”

My dudes, you do not need to like them, you need to read their fucking policies and decide whether you think they are the best choice for the community. I’m so sick of “likeability” being an active part of politics. I routinely vote for candidates who I don’t particularly like, but who I trust to consider their constituents and vote in their best interest because They Have Done It Before.

Hearing “I don’t like them” given as the reason to not vote for someone usually just tells me the person did not do their research on the candidate or are just mindlessly consuming propaganda about them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#us politics #ofc this could include the pres election but im mostly referring to smaller elections and state elections #like we have a congresswoman up for reelection who is working to ban all trawling near our waters and to ban the sale of trawled fish in our #state. who is working to stop the merger between the two main grocery stores and thus saving us from a return to criminal food prices #and who routinely puts alaskans first. and the fucking number of people who i have heard say ‘well i just dont like her’#oh and ofc she’s an indigenous gal so yes racism is playing its part here #im just like im sorry you don’t like her but you like ‘im a crook just like every politician elected from my family’ asshole mcgee running #against her??? are you fucking kidding me??? EVERY TIME one of his relatives get elected they fuck shit up bc they are terrible people but #hey he’s a white republican man surely he wants what’s best for alaska?? i am so SICK of businessmen in politics fuck oooooooff
