I don’t really vote at the federal level anyway I focus on state and local elections that have more impact on my life. As a christian I don’t feel confident in my ability to answer to god why I picked a certain candidate at that level which is another reason I favor more localized government so politicians are humans in the community again.
Most people want an explanation when I say I don’t vote at the federal level so I kind of get defensive with it. State empowerment movements are growing like crazy it’s a lot easier to admit this in real life than it was even a decade ago.
They still screw things up for me the federal government takes from my paycheck etc I’m not happy with where the money goes when either side has power.
Which besides your paycheck is... what exactly? Or are these hypothetical streams of income once you get out of the "temporarily embarrassed millionaire" hole you're in.
