here is how it works in washington state:

- they mail you a ballot
- you vote for whoever the fuck you want
- the top two candidates win

it's fucked up how states other than washington conduct their primaries

i am embarrassed to say that the CSPAN watcher has one of the best statements

« In closing, I'm the only candidate in America offering Term Limits Contract & Bodycam fulltime. This is a 1 time offer, Washington State. »

« Other Professional Experience:
Watching C-Span for 30 years »

« I advocate privacy, individual sovereignty, and private property. In summary, Bitcoin. »

« This year's candidacy marks a decade of not trying to win but to use the Voters' Pamphlet to attract viewers to the posts on my blog » oh my god washington state really

this is not as cringe as the guy who is running to complain about losing his medical license due to a complaint from “a member of LGBT”

« The Democratic Party *abandoned* me. I became a Republican. Praise God. » sir this is a mcdonalds

« For unconditional recognition of Israel as a refuge for Jews, increasingly scapegoated for the capitalist crisis, and facing murderous violence. » okay so Socialist Worker’s Party is out

these points are not disaligned https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/supreme-court-of-canada-desautel-sinixt-ruling-1.5998062

ballots arrived

i’m looking for candidates who:
- will prioritize the goals, empowerment, and sovereignty of inland salish peoples
- will fight for the right of people from
the US to live and work in Canada and vice versa

are there any candidates like this on my ballot

@swiff a casual user is a user who is able to stop using a software when it ceases to be pleasurable for them. because they can just log out, they are able to pick and choose the aspects of the software they find enjoyable and ignore the rest

in a social media context, casual users typically avoid drama/discourse, maintain small, enjoyable networks, and post largely about themselves or things of immediate consequence to them

a power user, in contrast, is a user who, for some reason real or imagined, feels their livelihood is dependent on the software and consequently cannot “just log out”. because their use of the software is unconditional, they are incentivized to attempt to warp the software in ways which serve their own benefit

in a social media context, power users typically have a vested stake in drama/discourse, try to build large networks, and post about meta or things that they think will have broad impact

tl;dr: power users attempt to control the software, whereas casual users attempt to control their usage
