This is something that I try not to put too much stock into, because there hasn’t been a candidate running for the Presidency in this country for awhile that has managed to meet the majority of my family’s political needs with the platform that he proposed, let alone whatever amalgamation of it actually became reality.
Some candidates, and some Presidents, have certainly been much worse than others though.
I’m not even going to lie.
As I publish this post, I’m watching the Election Day electoral college map fill up (something that I feel has more than served whatever purpose it may have had in decades past, not something that we continue to need to use now as we need to begin electing candidates strictly by popular vote, not allowing a handful of “swing states” to be the only ones to elect candidates for whom their votes matter far more than our own).
And as it is, for a number of reasons I’d like to move out of the state that my family currently resides in for a number of reasons, very little actually having anything to do with the political climate of the state that we live in, although the political climate of that particular state… does continue to leave a lot to be desired.
