I would like to vote for candidates I was enthusiastic about. Unfortunately, this will be another election where we all vote for the least bad candidates. And we won’t even really be voting for individual candidates — we will be voting to encourage or discourage the direction of our federal and state governments.

The federal government is President Donald Trump. The Congress is easy to ignore because it does nothing. The Supreme Court rolls over on its back to have the president scratch its tummy. I get that the incompetence of the Biden administration in managing immigration, withdrawing from Afghanistan, making any progress in Ukraine and Gaza wars, doing anything about the collapsing structure of our healthcare system, etc. made us all yearn for a federal government that could get stuff done.
