Seriously though people please vote! Yes, the National ballots are nearly worthless. But you still need to vote for your local City/School/County boards! Your local reps are the people making the decision to sign a flock contract, allow zoning for a data center, and many other things that impact your community. Depending on your state local reps may be elected in the June primary and/or the November election. Please look at your sample ballot on your states Secretary of State website or go to vote411 to see who’s on your ballot.
Certainly we all have much more control at the local level. I even feel confident I could move the needle a little at the state level because I have. The federal level though? Not a chance.
Where I live, AIPAC got to them too. No joke. Bluest of blue district.
