I like to research all the candidates on the ballot. I find the Republican Party of late appalling, but remember a time where New England Republicans had some reasonable ideas I agreed with. I would love to have stronger candidates in both parties (or…I know it’s crazy…but more than two parties!) because I’m not so naive to think Democrat automatically equals good. But it’s really hard lately. Viera is a good example - I saw the signs so I checked out his campaign page. There was nothing of substance, seriously it was laughable. He could not have spent more than 5 minutes writing it up and his strongest point is #realdad (actually what the site says). It’s honestly bordering on offensive that someone feels like they should have an elected position without proposing a single concrete stance on anything. But then again, he still got a decent amount of votes. So I’m not sure what’s worse lol.
