2020, the election campaigns have begun

I hate to be that guy Ranger, but maybe just vote for the person you want to be President?  Are you one of those people who's an independent because the good is the enemy of the perfect?

My ballot was already returned before New Hampshire results were announced.  Just get it in.  If you haven't applied for vote by mail yet, the last day is February 25.

I'd give you the county office, but I don't know which county you live in.  If you just happen to be in Ventura County, 1st supervisorial district, be sure to vote for me, Brent Laabs, on your Democratic partisan ballot.  I will be happy to serve as your representative to the Democratic Party.

Oh also Democrats don't want to marginalize the party system.  Or at least, the party doesn't want to marginalize itself.  We haven't been able to get cities to test Ireland's system (PR-STV) because that's against the law for excluding minorities.  But somehow FPTP isn't.  Entrenched interests defend the system which gives them power, which is basically how every human organization works.  Anyway open primaries are a ploy to get people to be invested in democratic candidates before they make the general election.  And basically a way to get more electable candidates for the general.
