I’m not gonna look a memes or opinion pieces, just review genuine news articles to keep on top of things. For local elections, I may have to dig a bit, but I’ll try not to get down into the sewers.
I’m gonna vote for whoever is the least-bad option at every level.
If I actually find a candidate that I can support on their own merits, I will talk them up to neighbors, and support them monetarily.
I will remind myself that human nature has been the same for millennia, and nothing I can do will change it. All I can do is try to mitigate the fall-out. “Do what you can, with what you’ve got, where you are.” “You do the job that’s in front of you.” (Terry Pratchett, “Night Watch”)

This is an invalid argument, because currently the companies are receiving unfairly inflated market value, and Medicare plans to negotiate down to a fair level.
A safe!
