I know I'm for medical marijuana so that's a yes and I'm against the electric company charging people for using solar energy so that's a no. And I checked yes on Rubio, he's an alright little guy. Judge Sanchez? I don't know anything about him, but I like the name. Hillary or Trump, I'm going with Trump simply because I think Hillary will cause more of a negative effect on my business. We're not that small anymore. Not huge, but in the range where you'll get all kinds of fucked in the ass.
So I get to complain now no matter what.
I got a ballot by mail this time too. It was five long-sized pages in three different languages and weighed like two pounds. I worked on it off and on for two days, which was kind of a pain in the ass.
My niece is voting for the first time this year. She doesn't understand why I didn't write in Bernie's name, like she's going to do. I told her that while I like him best and would be willing to pay more personal and business taxes in support of his goals for the country, I don't think he'd be able to make them a reality (whereas Clinton could probably make some headway with the platform points she incorporated from him).
My niece thinks that's bullshit on my part and that people should only vote for what they think is right and fair (HOWEVER, she gives her grandma a big old pass for voting for Trump, primarily just to spite Hillary Clinton).
