I agree with a lot of what you put forward, Fren. I try daily not to doom and get disenfranchised, but I have a lot of skepticism over the entire electoral process. It's even worse on a state level because in WA, the Democrats have one of the most well-tuned Democrat-friendly electoral engines in the country, ensuring that a Republican never touches the governor's seat. Not only that, but a good number of residents on the Western side of the state are completely consumed with cognitive dissonance and simply vote blue no matter who. Sideshow Bob is salivating because he knows he's all but guaranteed to take Inslee's job. I pray every day that I am proven wrong!
