Because you always research who you vote for.
Here's the synopsis for a local Democrat for mostly irrelevant local position (think of it like, local village official dog-walker or some shit):
Former US military (infantry officer), no obvious Leftist endorsements, many years spent as a Judo athlete, private practice attorney, no significant political experience, adequate physiognomy, official Democrat Party information page made no appeals to Culture War topics, or even really any significant political topics at all. (I live in a pretty red area)
Here's the quote for the local Republican for the same position:
Accomplishments:
Promoted diversity training for [government strata] employees
He's a multi-year incumbent. Has been either an attorney or a politician for the past 30 years. Poor physiognomy.
Just because there is an R in their name doesn't mean they aren't supporting DIE in the government.
CLEAR. THEM. OUT.
I watched a local broadcast for school trustee candidates out of boredom, and it got into the French trustees... And only one of them spoke French. The rest were 100% baizuo stereotype. Then it got to the Catholic School Board positions... And only two of the, like, eleven or twelve candidates actually used the words "God" or "Catholic". And I mean that. The rest used "CSB" as a shortform, they never even used the word Catholic for the position they were running for in the Catholic School Board, let alone concerning what values or opinions they uphold. The word "Muslim", however, was used five times.
