Yeah yeah constitutional republic. But I just received my ballot for the state and like 70% of these guys have no opponents. There is no choice here other than what party you want. And they all fucking suck.
I remembering voting for treasurer or some shit of a state with no income tax and both of the fuckers we had to choose from were center right “independent” business school freak types who had basically the same platform, which was “absolutely do not, under any circumstances, make the tax code less regressive.” That was the first time it really sunk in for me how absolutely little voting mattered
