McEachin knows it's no contest, so he put no effort into it. This is not a criticism, he's a rational guy.
It will be a McEachin blowout no matter what anyone does

Redistricting actually nudged me into McEachins district which is funny because I was in his district, moved to spanberger, then got redistricted back into McEachins

Good. McEachin is a great guy from my perspective. I spoke with him a few times when I was out that way lobbying

I have the super down voted post because I wasn’t going to vote. I voted I was voter 921

I’ll get downvoted but, he’s the only thing on the ballot, he’s my guy & he’s a shoe in. Why vote?

Because if everyone else in your position thought the same way you did and didn't vote...he wouldn't be a shoe in.

Because you don't want it to even be close. You don't want them to think that their shitty, hateful rhetoric is somehow helping them in your district.

Why not? With all of the choices you have on ways to vote, why wouldn't you do it? Mail it in, stop by on a random day in October, or go in on election day and say hi to your neighbors in line and thank the poll workers.

This is literally how we ended up with Trump from the 2016 election. "Hillary is a shoe-in."

Benjamin got almost 40% of the vote in 2020 so although it seems like McEachin would be a safe bet he’s not.

On top of what others are saying, a closer race than expected says to the dem candidates that the republican strategy is working and might make some dems think they need to adopt the same type of strategies. Also, not sure your demographic but if young people continue to not vote regardless of reason, it says to the politicians that they can safely keep ignoring causes important to young people.

I’m older, my first vote was for Mondale.
I’m feeling kinda dumb, I should have time to vote after 3pm, I’m going.

I felt so modern and cool voting for him and his running mate Geraldine Ferraro!
jimmybilly100 t1_ivkxwwn wrote
Haha, I have no idea who that person is. I think I was just barely alive for the 84 election
typhoidmarry t1_ivky5p3 wrote
She was the first female running mate from a major party!

@ everyone in this thread: it’s “shoo-in”! Next time I’ll throw my shoe at ya!

sense of moral obligation. That's why I'm going to. But I'm throwing no stones at you, that's a pretty reasonable take
jdbug100 t1_ivkqct1 wrote
I'm in the same boat and not voting because it's my little way of saying "I'm not enthusiastic about your party and would like to see some non-80-year-olds in party leadership."
Both political parties treat a vote as a 100% endorsement. They just say wow look at this turnout, they love us!
I'd rather them be like hmmm turnout was lower than expected there among these folks, what are we doing wrong? I admit it's more likely they just don't give a fuck or don't notice, but alas.
Disclaimer: Given that McEachin is a lock and there isn't anything else on the ballot to voice my opinion on.
