Just did my civic duty.

It picked up in my ward real quick as everyone got out of work. In the end I tossed my vote to Amy over Steyer, though I had that ballot for like 3 minutes staring at it before I filled it out.

Also, for those not in the know, In NH you walk in as an independent. Once they find your name and you can pick from either ballot. Once you submit it, you can walk over to a book, tell them which ticket you took and sign your name next to it and you go back to undeclared for the next go round.

Kind of cool, not sure how other states do it.
What made you pick steyer and Amy as your top choices?

Amy huh? What swayed you? I thought the fact that BLM and the NAACP came out against her would basically negate anyone who realizes how important black turnout is supporting her.

i actually dont agree with publicly funded elections either, not if it's coming from a tax on individuals. i think there are structural changes that could make campaigning more affordable but i wouldn't want to be paying into some election pot with no control over who my money supports, nor do i see these millionaire candidates (moreso at the national level) as good places to be spending public money on, especially with how dysfunctional washington is
You’ll keep getting millionaire candidates without publicly funded elections. Someone like AOC was viable because she was a bartender without anything to lose. If she was in the corporate world like us, she never takes that risk. There is no perfect solution but what I suggested is the best option. And it would obviously be money allocated and you would have to meet certain signature thresholds to qualify. You give the grassroots a fighting chance.
