They were trying to get me to vote for this Dem running for a state seat, guy’s a chief of staff for some local establishment democrat, usual machine operation.

I explain I’m sick of the democrats, and the volunteer’s response? “Well candidate such and such is actually much more moderate than people make him out to be.” I wryly pointed out that he just said that to a socialist, and at that point I think he realized he couldn’t do anything to pitch his candidate at that point.

I still get mailed-in pitches (to my new address, not even forwarded!) from my old CA district, which for some reason they decided to send across the country to me to tell me how this disruptive innovative entrepreneur is going to cut the dae le red tape (what fucking red tape is left?) and further invest and expand "AI" businesses in the district.

That's a fucking threat. corporate-art

Well, at the bookstore/coffee shop, mostly, but still.

They're gonna send you Star Citizen pre-alpha invites too, just to specifically piss you off.

I'd rather those invites go to more reactionary gamedads to drain their wallets a bit more.
