Trump co-defendant Michael Roman accused Willis of misconduct for her “clandestine” relationship with Nathan Wade, whom she appointed as special counsel.
It is crazy. I live in an area where the Republicans have so much voter support, my own vote has been essentially worthless for years on all government matters that affect my community and daily life from ward to school district to city to county to state level, not even including the insane reactionary stuff that you read about us at the national level. And I still keep voting and trying to talk so-called “libertarian” friends and family out of their blind authority worship and anti-everything-that-is-not-exactly-like-me attitude (which they call “woke” in a purely derogatory way). When I stand in line at a polling location I try to convince myself I’m not actually crazy for thinking there’s a slim chance my vote means anything. But it is crazy. It feels hopeless. And if I move to a more reasonable area, it’ll skew this area just a tiny bit more red. The whole scenario is lose-lose.
Your vote, and those of the minority party in your area, give hope. They give those who are nervous to disagree proof that people can stand by their morals and disagree with the majority. You show people in that community who align with you that they are not alone. That there are others who think like them.
Keep voting, even if you lose. Because it lets everyone know that your political opinions and desires aren’t gone.
